package install fails

[Julien Huang]

Binary package hint: kqemu-source

I simply can't install kqemu-source.

$ lsb_release -a

Ditto for me. Same error messages exactly.

My system is a slightly irregular kubuntu 9.04:
$ uname -a
Linux desktop 2.6.30-10-generic #12-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 22 16:30:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

on AMD Athlon 64.

I decided to look a little closer at it in Aptitude and the changelog for the last few versions (1.4.0~pre*) appear to be messing around specifically with objects that the error messages seem to be related to (DKMS, udev, and kqemu.modprobe). Maybe something was broken in the process?

I'm getting a similar problem with karmic koala 9.10 :
