Installing linux-headers-4.4.10 on Raspberry Pi

Question

I am trying to install the linux-headers package on my Raspberry Pi, but am not finding any success.

I have tried:

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.4.10
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.4.10'

And:

$ sudo apt-cache search linux-headers

Is there simply no valid linux-headers package available? Should I try installing one of the linux-headers-4.4.0-1 packages?

Answer 1

You can get the Raspbian-headers with:

sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

After installing this package you will find the headers here: /lib/modules//

Answer 2

Since You didnt mention what kind of OS You are running on Your raspi but used apt-get, i assume You are running some version of raspbian. Did You try searching for available headers apt-cache search linux-headers? Also, a full update apt-get update && apt-get upgrade might be useful.

By the way, I think You might be wrong here, since there is a stack community entirely devoted to the reaspberry pi. Check out https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/ , Im sure they can provide better help for You. Looks like they also already discussed this issue. Some useful links:
