No, I believe it's much more simpler that that: $ apt-cache show dkms Package: dkms Version: 2.2.0.3-1.2 ... Recommends: fakeroot, menu | sudo, linux-headers-686-pae | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-generic | linux-headers, linux-image As you can see, linux-headers-686-pae is listed before linux-headers-amd64 and apt/itude simply installs the first one, because it can't determine which one you really need. Even if the OP installs the correct kernel headers, the i386 virtualbox (which the OP has installed) will *not* work with the -amd64 kernel, regardless of his architecture: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=456391 Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
