Trying to install something I got a msg. to the effect that kernel ...20... headers were missing so:
... what should I do? Yes, I updated.
BTW, mea culpa, when my system upgraded itself to the ...21... kernel (with no problems), I noted, while watching a backup proceed, that I still had ...20... stuff lying around, and I thought it was orphaned, so I deleted it all manually. But it seems that ...21... still wants the old headers even tho the ...21... headers are installed. I was a bit cavalier about the deletion because I assumed if I remove something needed (as it seems I did), that I'd just be able to reinstall it. Point being that I did this to myself.
Code:
$ aptitude reinstall linux-headers-6.1.0-20-amd64The following packages will be REINSTALLED: linux-headers-6.1.0-20-amd64 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.E: Can't find a source to download version '6.1.85-1' of 'linux-headers-6.1.0-20-amd64:amd64'After unpacking 0 B will be used.E: Can't find a source to download version '6.1.85-1' of 'linux-headers-6.1.0-20-amd64:amd64'E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to downloadE: Perhaps the package lists are out of date, please try 'aptitude update' (or equivalent); otherwise some packages or versions are not available from the current repository sourcesBTW, mea culpa, when my system upgraded itself to the ...21... kernel (with no problems), I noted, while watching a backup proceed, that I still had ...20... stuff lying around, and I thought it was orphaned, so I deleted it all manually.
