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

    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.
