That misses the point ;-) Besides, you explicitly asked which of your
installed pkgs is the correct one...

For future trouble shooting it will help you to know how to find
information for yourself. Did you for instance now go back and check
what the other automatically installed "linux-header" pkgs are for (i.e.
those that were pulled in by you installing
linux-headers-3.14-1-all-i386) ? This time it probably didn't do much
harm, but the more you clutter up your system with unwanted stuff the
harder it might become to support it in the future.

I'll take my turn at it too:

Do you mean a debian pkg...?

I can't find anything under that name.  Or even just searching on
virtualbox

Are talking about a debian pkg?  If so then an aptitude search turns
up nothing with that name.

Even using a search like: `aptitude search virtual' turns up nothing
with the string virutalbox in it.

I don't know. Have you installed "virtualbox-guest-dkms"?

Yes, I'm answering a question with a question.

exact name of headers for 3.14-1-486

2014-07-23 Thread Harry Putnam

Sorry if my subject sounds a little pompous but I keep hitting this
warning when trying to install vbox guest addtitions where is says it
cannot find the headers for my running kernel.

It's a little exasperating because when I first saw that I installed a
bunch of header from a pile of pkgs.

uname -r:

  3.14-1-486

aptitude search headers |grep ^i

 i   linux-headers-3.14-1-486- Header files for Linux 3.14-1-486
 
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-686-pae- Header files for Linux 3.14-1-686-pae
 
 i   linux-headers-3.14-1-all-i386   - All header files for Linux 3.14 
(meta-pack
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-amd64  - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-amd64  
 
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-common - Common header files for Linux 3.14-1 
 
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-common-rt  - Common header files for Linux 3.14-1-rt  
 
 i A linux-headers-3.14-1-rt-686-pae - Header files for Linux 3.14-1-rt-686-pae 
 

Shouldn't it be the very first one on that list?

Any ideas why vbox continues to report not finding header files for my
running kernel?
