Is there a way to get the matching Linux kernel headers automatic on a regular kernel update via the Ubuntu packed manager?
Every time I get a new kernel I must do an
aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`
Have you installed linux-headers-generic
or linux-headers-386
? Those meta-packages keep track of the installed kernel and get updated automagically when a new kernel (and hence a kernel-header) package is available.
See the ubuntu documentation for further information.
linux-headers-generic
does not exist anymore in Debian 10. You need to install linux-headers-amd64
. I was having trouble with missing headers for virtualbox
. This answer comes at the top of a Google search about automatically installing headers.

This is a bug #693311 of automatic updater. This bug is not solved. I verify that linux-headers-generic is installed (Ubuntu 12.10) but it is not helpful. For more information see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/693311
