Hi All
I have given up on Wine for running some of my Windoz only software.
Too many glitches. I am trying to install Virtualbox and am getting

I'm obviously using the standard Debian packaging system for
installation and the recommended additional installation packages are
being installed, but the headers that are being installed are for a 32
bit processor while I have a 64 bit installation. Could that be the
problem. So what am I doing wrong.

Here is an attempt to answer all of the questions and suggestions:
I am definitely installing Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 ( I checked the grub
config files)
I try to never use anything but the standard Debian distros. To do
otherwise is inviting all sorts of problems.
I religiously upgrade and update my system using Aptitude -
especially before adding new software.
What is a "paquet"?. VirtualBox is obviously installing 32 bit
headers but since this is the only program that I am aware of that does
this, what is the problem?
Another comment on the above and the Mozilla User Agent comment: I
am sure that much of the software in the Wheezy distro is not 64 bit
software ( Mozilla included) and usually co-exists nicely with the 64
bit system.
Nice idea about using the VirtualBox:amd64 program but no joy. The
program requires a 64 bit version of a Python library that is not
included in the distro. Somebody needs to correct this.
Any ideas will be sincerely appreciated. I really need to get this
problem solved.
