try getting kernel-headers

hi

my kernel is
uname -r 2.6.8-3-686

and i'm trying to get the kernel-headers because i'm going to install asterisk and other packages so I need the kernel-headers, but when i try this

apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

I got a problem

Code:

Reading Package lists... Done

Building dependency tree ...Done

Some packages could not be installed. this may mean that you have requested an imposible situation

or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming



Since you only request a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

kernel-headers-2.6.8-3-686: Depends: kernel-headers-2.6.8-3 but it not going to be installed.

e: Broken packages

and i try updating but i got an problem again

what could be the solution?

Make sure you have your sources.list setup correctly with main contib and non-free

example : deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

then su to root
"apt-get update"
then "apt-get install linux-kernel-headers-2.6.8-3-686
that should install the kernel headers.

cheers

well I did a mistake because I delete my sources.list

but I found a new list on internet and I solved the problem

my new sources.list

sources.list

Code:

#Sarge (stable)

deb http://ftp.rediris.es/debian stable main contrib non-free

deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
