exact name of headers for 3.14-1-486



Sorry if my subject sounds a little pompous but I keep hitting this
warning when trying to install vbox guest addtitions where is says it
cannot find the headers for my running kernel.

It's a little exasperating because when I first saw that I installed a
bunch of header from a pile of pkgs.

uname -r:

  3.14-1-486

aptitude search headers |grep ^i

 i   linux-headers-3.14-1-486        - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-486         
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-686-pae    - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-686-pae     
 i   linux-headers-3.14-1-all-i386   - All header files for Linux 3.14 (meta-pack
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-amd64      - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-amd64       
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-common     - Common header files for Linux 3.14-1      
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-common-rt  - Common header files for Linux 3.14-1-rt   
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-rt-686-pae - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-rt-686-pae  

Shouldn't it be the very first one on that list?

Any ideas why vbox continues to report not finding header files for my
running kernel?
