Package qemu is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package qemu has no installation candidate

My Linux kernal version:
cm@pet:~$ uname -a
Linux pet 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 23:01:54 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Make sure you have the universe repository enabled and you should be able to install qemu

 Administration> Software Sources the second repository on the first tab.

then update your package lists and install via synaptic.

or after enabling the universe repo do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qemu

Can you help with this problem?
