    Exclamation try getting kernel-headers

    hi

    my kernel is
    uname -r 2.6.8-3-686


    and i'm trying to get the kernel-headers because i'm going to install asterisk and other packages so I need the kernel-headers, but when i try this

    apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

    I got a problem

    Code:
    Reading Package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree ...Done
    Some packages could not be installed. this may mean that you have requested an imposible situation
    or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming
    
    Since you only request a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    kernel-headers-2.6.8-3-686: Depends: kernel-headers-2.6.8-3 but it not going to be installed.
    e: Broken packages
    and i try updating but i got an problem again

    what could be the solution?
