This version does not exist. Were you using dpkg -l to identify the
version? If so, I suggest either setting COLUMNS to something
reasonably big or piping the output through cat (e.g., dpkg -l
linux-source-2.6.18 | cat) to see the full version.

It is, but you need to apply it: 
  # apt-get install linux-tree-2.6.18
  # tar xfj /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2
  # cd linux-source-2.6.18
  # /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/debian -a hppa
