[Pkg-uml-devel] Re: [uml-devel] Debian user mode linux 2.6.8 and supporting utils don't install

[pierrelaroche]

Hello,

First, thanks for the very prompt response.

Also thanks for the build instructions. I now have a uml kernel debug
environment.

I was incorrect in stating the uml version. I am installing uml
2.6.18-1um-2, not 2.6.8.

Here is the apt-get log showing the problem I mentioned,

debian:/etc/apt# apt-get install user-mode-linux
