Package: linux-headers-amd64
Version: 4.11+82
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     During a regular system upgrade, dkms rejected a build due to missing
     kernel headers.
     I checked for the presence of kernel headers against the current
     kernel version (linux-image); the running kernel was linux-image-4.12.0-2,
     the headers linux-headers-4.11.0-1

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     I tried to force the installation of linux-headers-amd64, but the
     linux-headers-4.12.0-1-amd64 dependency could no be met due to the
     package not being present in the repository.
     Double checking
     https://packages.debian.org/buster/linux-headers-amd64
     confirms that "dep: linux-headers-4.12.0-1-amd64
     Package not available"
     The package does not appear to be available for i386 either

  * What was the outcome of this action?
     root@Not-Ubuntu:~# apt-get install linux-headers-amd64
     Reading package lists... Done
     Building dependency tree       
     Reading state information... Done
     Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
     requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
     distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
     or been moved out of Incoming.
     The following information may help to resolve the situation:

     The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      linux-headers-amd64 : Depends: linux-headers-4.12.0-1-amd64 but it
      is not installable
      E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     Successful installation of the kernel headers matching the current
     linux-image

Finally, please note that the info provided by reportbug is not current,
as it was collected after a system reboot. I'm not sure why it states
that linux-headers-amd64 depends on 4.11.0-1, as that's installed and
not what's causing the issue (see reported outcome above).

This was fixed a few days ago, but your mirror might not have caught up
yet.
