Easy work around way:

# aptitude install module-assistant

# m-a update

# m-a prepare

;)

Hi,
 My name is Jen, and I'm new to the list. I've been playing with Linux on and off for about a year, but have only recently found a distro that meets my accessibility needs (Debian unstable). It's also a great learning tool :P
 I need to build some packages from source, and I need kernel headers to do it. I can't find the headers I need, when I try to install them in the conventional way I get the error 'package not found'.
 An 'apt-cache search' finds nothing. Can someone please tell me where to get the kernel headers for 2.6.32-trunk-686, and how I install them?

Where does 2.6.32-trunk-686 come from?  Definitely not Unstable!

$ apt-cache search 2.6.32-trunk-686
$

You might want to install linux-image-2.6.32-4-686 (or the -bigmem variant dependent on your RAM size).


Thanks in advance.

apt-cache search kernel headers | grep headers | grep 32

So, I'd install linux-image-2.6.32-4-686{-bigmem} and linux-headers-2.6.32-4-686{-bigmem}.
