linux-headers-3.18.41+ installation failed

[geminia]

Hi have a Gemini PDA - Mediatek processor, running Debian.

Checking dependencies

unzip is installed dpkg-query: package 'linux-headers-3.18.41+' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. linux-headers-3.18.41+ not found! Install? [Y/n] y Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree       Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.18.41 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-3.18.41' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.18.41' linux-headers-3.18.41+ installation failed.  Aborting.

After looking at other issues I have also run this check

gemini@localhost:/$ lsb_release -a && uname -r No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 (stretch) Release:        9.5 Codename:       stretch 3.18.41+

The kernel source code for the device is here https://github.com/gemian/gemini-linux-kernel-3.18

What does the command

'dpkg -l | grep linux-headers' return? What is present in /lib/modules ?

[geminia]

What does the command

'dpkg -l | grep linux-headers' return? What is present in /lib/modules ?

ok so first first cmd returned nothing, so I ran it for grep linux. Here is the result of that.

gemini@localhost:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep linux ii libselinux1:arm64 2.6-3+b3 arm64 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libv4l-0:arm64 1.12.3-1

I then tried running this cmd ' sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) '

gemini@localhost:/lib$ 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-3.18.41 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-3.18.41' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.18.41'

I could not find lib/module folder but here is what I think might be the equivalent.

Thanks for helping out

What about the command 'apt search linux-headers' see if there is something like linux-headers-common or similar.

Here is the result for apt search linux-headers
