Jaunty Real Time Kernel fails immediately

[Rich E]

Hi Luke, list,

I tried installing the kernel linked here and got the following error from
the package installer. Anyone know why?  I only have the standard Jaunty
kernel installed, have not tried the rt (because it seems doomed).

Here is the error report:
