Please re-read my previous post. sysv-rc is the package you need to replace, not kvm.
Try running: apt-get install --reinstall sysv-rc You then need to check if there are other Debian packages installed on your Ubuntu machine and replace those. If you run 'aptitude' then these will probably be listed in the "Obsolete and Locally Created Packages". This is also not a bug in apt or aptitude, it is caused by you installing Debian Etch packages on Ubuntu Hardy. -- apt-get/aptitude fails to install KVM via recommended update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375825 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
