Having problems installing kernel headers (Dependency error)

My kali linux is running on a bootable USB with persistence.

At first I tried installing the headers this way:

Code:

---

apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

---

But then I got the following error:

Code:

---

Package linux-headers-4.13.0-kali1-amd64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

---

So I tried downloading the file from http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/k.../main/l/linux/ and installing them manually, problem is I got another error:

Code:

---

dpkg -i linux-headers-4.13.0-kali1-all-amd64_4.13.10-1kali2_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 326899 files and directories currently installed.)

What should I do?

I'm not familiar with persistence but I'd assume:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Already tried that, didn't work.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt dist-upgrade
REBOOT
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

linux-headers-4.13.0-kali1-amd64 are missing, tested on a brand new installation.

You can install linux headers 4.14 after upgrade.

Indeed, i think a reboot was necessary after upgrading now the version is 4.14 & headers are downloading

Thanks _defalt
