Looks like the "linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic" package isn't in the repository lists any more. This is also causing confusion since there's a virtualbox-ose-module out for that kernel version which can't install since the linux-image package isn't available in the list.
I looked for it using both adept and aptitude, it's not in the list and the Dependency entry for the "virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-20-generic" package shows (UNAVAILABLE) next to it. Yes, I updated my package list before looking for it. :) If the package isn't a pre-release I figure it should show up for me if it's available for Hardy. Following is the contents of my sources.list file so you know which repositories the package isn't showing up in. # deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1)]/ gutsy main restricted # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080422.1)]/ hardy main restricted deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence.
