I'm trying to install Virtualbox Guest addtions and at one point the recommended install procedure says do aptitude install build-essential kernel-header-`uname -r`
The kernel-header bit comes out as kernel-header-2.6.18-6-686 Aptitude reports "could'nt find any package whose name or description matched kernel-header-2.6.18-6-686" When I go into aptitude and search for kernel-header the package I find is linux-kernel-headers with a version number of 2.6.18-7 (which is installed) I find the 7 a bit confusing as the installed kernel is 2.6.18-6 which is the one on the latest r3 release iso. The guest additions install routine (sh /media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run all) stalls with: "Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel. The current version is 2.6.16-6-686" I'm not sure if Virtualbox stalls on the version number or the fact that it can't find any kernel headers. Has anyone come across this problem? (If not maybe I should try the Virtualbox forums, but I thought that a Debian specific answer would be more likely from this forum) Russell
