Package: systemtap
Version: 0.0.20061028-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

This package needs CONFIG_KPROBES to be set on the kernel, but the option is
unset on stock linux 2.6.18. This makes it impossible to execute even simple
scripts such as:

        # stap -ve 'probe begin { log("hello world") exit () }'

I'm not aware of other stock kernel version which may have CONFIG_KPROBES set.
