No, I've only ever installed kernels when an upgrade included a new
one... that is what happened in this case to get to 4.14*.


Is it possible that Debian just doesn't know where to look for the
header files?

Seems unlikely since two `stretch' systems, following a full-upgrade
had no such problems even though new kernels were installed as part of
that upgrade.

I see notations regarding more than one error in the full log output I
posted in this thread... but am not savvy enough to know what they
mean.

Early on:

and then at the end:

Any help on what those indicate needs doing?
