Problem E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.33.2-vs2.3.0.36.30.4-netcup

    I think have problem in Linux vServer
    (most likely nobody created a linux-headers for that Linux-VServer kernel package)


    and when i tried to install script i get
    E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.33.2-vs2.3.0.36.30.4-netcup



    installing kernel headers for a 2.6.32/33 kernel should provide the required files..But as far as i learned i can't change or update kernel files for vServer. I wrote support mails however their answers quite far then to be good.

    i tried update kernel headers

    Code
    [B]sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`[/B]


    not works



    Code
    sudo -s
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux
cd /full/path/to/src/directory
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

    Make sure you have updated version


    $ sudo apt-get update
    Search for kernel version (optional)


    $ apt-cache search linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    Install linux-header package


    $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)


    also not works

    You can't install Kernel-Headers, because this is a netcup-own kernel, you can't find this in the Debian Repository.


    Thanks however their kernel not work stable in vserver.. and vserver didnt find headers for installing some programs

    On my vServer, /usr/src/linux is a symlink to linux-headers-2.6.33.2-vs2.3.0.36.30.4-netcup as usual, but this directory does not exist. :o
    A lot of software need the kernels source for proper configuration. So please - netcup - provide it. Thank you!

    I wrote many times to Netcup but they didnt provide it..

    The problem is: You can't change or controll the kernel with Linux-VServer ;)
    You can't use e.g. iptables, because the kernel is shared for all users on a node.

    My vServer here is running with 2.6.33.2-vs2.3.0.36.30.4-netcup and kernel-headers 2.6.30-r1. I customized my system completely and it runs without any problems.


    masterofdeath, why do you want the same version of the kernel headers? In production use you only need a similar version for compiling kernel-near software. If you want to build modules, you generally need the complete kernel sources and .config of the running kernel.


    Do you manage your vServer with Copy&Paste? So you won't be happy with your system.


    Just use

    Code
    apt-get install linux-headers

    and it will work.
