    Exclamation Not able to install VM on Kali host

    Hi!

    I've tried installing Virtual box by following procedure on Kali pages and other tutorials, but I've had no success with latest edition of Kali

    I've Kali 16.2 (upgraded to latest) and experiencing following error messages

    apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-amd64
    E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-amd64'
    E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.3.0-kali1-amd64'
    This is me trying to install headers since I was getting errors for missing headers. Even after installing VM by following
    apt-get install build-essential dkms
    and then
    apt-get install virtualbox
    I was getting similar errors in completed installations.

    When I tried to run VM I got error saying that the VM will not run unless this problem is solved.

    I've tried lot of things available on net, even tried to do
    apt-get install build-essential
    Which polled in packages sizing 1,060 MB or something...

    Still no luck

    After trying to run virtual machine I get error saying
    modprobe vboxdrv
    is missing or something

    Sorry if post sounds confusing, but I'm guessing this is something to do with the kernel updates, not sure though

    I also tried running
    apt-get install linux-headers-amd64
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    linux-headers-amd64 is already the newest version (4.9+79+kali2).
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    Can anyone help here?
