Package: linux-headers-4.11.0-2-common
Version: 4.11.11-1
Followup-For: Bug #869670

I had the same issue here with the same result of losing my kernel headers,
DKMS not working, thus being unable to build VirtualBox modules and use
VirtualBox at all.

I tries to look for a ``4.11.11-1+b1`` version for the ``-common`` and
``-common-rt`` packages (both lacking the latest consistent version), but
found nothing.

It looks like the only chance left for me is rebooting into a previous
kernel.`:(`

Cheers!

The reason for this bug is a dependency problem:

The current sid kernel is linux-image-4.11.0-2-amd64
->
corresponding headers are linux-headers-4.11.0-2-amd64:
->
they depend on linux-headers-4.11.0-2-common (= 4.11.11-1+b1)
->
there is no such version (only 4.11.11-1 *NO +b1*), maybe never made it
from experimental?

Only work around is to boot to an older kernel and install the
corresponding linux-headers-VERSION package.

Do not try to fix by installing/upgrading meta-package linux-headers-amd64
since in sid this depends on linux-headers-4.11.0-2-amd64 thus initiating
the broken dependency links described above.
Don't try to fix 4.11 kernel (it's EOL anyway), we should probably just
wait for 4.12 coming from experimental soon.

Hope this helps you folks!

Bests,

Andrea
