Hello,

I tried to install the kernel header on Kali linux 2022.1 with the following commands:


# apt update
# apt dist-upgrade
[REBOOT]
# apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

But I get:

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.15.0-kali3-amd64
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-5.15.0-kali3-amd64'

Note that the `uname -r` commands returns `5.15.0-kali3-amd64`. However, searching for linux-headers gives:


$ apt search linux-header
(...)
linux-headers-5.16.0-kali6-amd64/kali-rolling 5.16.14-1kali2 amd64
Header files for Linux 5.16.0-kali6-amd64
(...)

It looks like my kernel is not the most recent one and I guess this is why I have this issue. So how can I installed the linux source for 5.15.0-kali3-amd64 or update to 5.16.0-kali6-amd64?

My /etc/apt/sources.list only contains `deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free`

Thank you

Same issue !

I've tried to install the headers manually downloading the linux-headers-5.15.0-kali3-amd64_5.15.15-1kali2_amd64.debhere: http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/kali/pool/main/l/linux/ (http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/kali/pool/main/l/linux/)

Using the dpkg command:

sudo dpkg ?i linux-headers-5.15.0-kali3-amd64_5.15.15-1kali2_amd64.deb

But unfortunately a lot of another dependencies came up and I didn't find out how to solve them...

I have this issue too when trying to install VMWare, downloaded VMware-Workstation-Full-16.2.4-20089737.x86_64.bundle.

When triggering the installation a pop-up appears (VMware Kernel Module Updater) stating that Kernel headers for version 5.18.0-kali5-amd64 were not found. If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below.

Not sure how to solve this. Anyone who might have some tips or ideas?

Much appreciated.

dpgk -i linux-headers-5.18.0-kali5-common_5.18.5-1kali6_all.deb
and then http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/kali/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-5.18.0-kali5-amd64_5.18.5-1kali6_amd64.deb
