See http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-headers-3.2.0-102-generic and http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-headers-3.2.0-104-generic I ran into this trying to install the virtualbox guest additions into a precise64 Vagrant with a 3.2.0-105 kernel. The guest plugin tries to install the latest headers like 'linux-headers-`uname -r`' see https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant- vbguest/blob/d36ba2e4ae00577b4169bf1336a6a3264277c1e7/lib/vagrant- vbguest/installers/debian.rb#L31 this fails because the box I am using has precise-security in the sources.list but not precise-update.
