AM3517 EVM tool kit instalation on Ubuntu 13.10

I am re-writing part of the provided setup.sh to run on Ubuntu 13.10.  so far so good.  Haven't resolved the following:

System requires packages xinetd libncurses5-dev uboot-mkimage to be installed
Installation requires you to have administrator priviliges (sudo access)
on your host. Do you have administrator privilieges?
Type 'y' to continue or 'n' to exit the installation: y
Performing sudo apt-get install xinetd libncurses5-dev uboot-mkimage
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
Package uboot-mkimage 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
However the following packages replace it:
  u-boot-tools:i386 u-boot-tools

E: Package 'uboot-mkimage' has no installation candidate
Failed setup, aborting..

I'm ok with the priviliges (sic) but not certain how to resolve the dependencies..  Maybe it has been fixed for Ubuntu 14 (the sdk for-which I understand is not out yet).

    Hi Chuck,

    It is highly recommended to use one of the suggested Ubuntu distributions, as the SDK has been tested under these. However, since you are already modifying the script, you might as well change the packages which need to be installed. From you log I can see that the uboot-mkimage package is not available, but you have suggested alternatives. Replace the uboot-mkimage package with these two inside the setup-package-install.sh script and continue.

    Best regards,
    Miroslav

    HI Miroslav

    I met the same question as Chuck showed,and I also had read your answer above,but can't understand the meaning of “Replace the uboot-mkimage package with these two inside the setup-package-install.sh script and continue”.

    looking forward your answer !

    Best regards
