    Problems installing VMWare on Kali Linux

    Hello all,

    I'm new to Kali Linux but have worked with BackTrack many years ago. I am having a large amount of problems to get the linux headers to update. When I use the command:

    apt-get install -y linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-686-pae

    I get an error saying:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-686-pae
    E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.0.0-kali1-686-pae'

    I've utilize the same command with the $(uname -r) iteration with the same problems.

    I've also done apt-get update and apt-get upgrade along with apt-get dist-upgrade

    I'm personally at my wits end with this installation. I can't seem to figure out the issue or even begin to resolve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Can you paste me the output of the following commands ?

    Code:
    apt-get update 
    apt-cache search linux-header-$(uname -r)
    uname -a 
    apt-get install linux-header-$(uname -r)
