    Trouble installing kernel headers

    Hello! This problem stems from when I tried to install VMware, but got the following error message:
    Screenshot from 2020-02-25 18-14-45.jpg

    I had assumed that it was because I hadn't installed my Kernel Headers, so I had used the command: [
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    that I got from this tutorialhttps://computingforgeeks.com/how-to...2-0-kali-sana/), but it simply gave me the following message:

    Code:
    root@nope:~# sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     linux-headers-5.4.0-kali4-amd64 : Depends: linux-headers-5.4.0-kali4-common (= 5.4.19-1kali1) but it is not going to be installed
                                       Depends: linux-kbuild-5.4 (>= 5.4.19-1kali1) but it is not going to be installed
                                       Depends: linux-compiler-gcc-9-x86 but it is not going to be installed
     ruby-cms-scanner : Depends: ruby-progressbar (>= 1.9.0) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
    From what I see, it's saying I have unmet dependencies, which I'm not too sure what that means

    Any Help would be greatly appriciated! - Thanks

    You should run `apt update` again, and then run the command it mentions in the output - `apt --fix-broken install` without the quotes. Sometimes the mirrors haven't finished updating when you've synced so packages aren't available.
