#173851 — kernel header for 4.6.0-1-686

Where can I get the kernel headers for my kernel 4.6.0-1-686?

apt-get does not show that version.

Googling for awhile here and not finding it either

Trying to install vbox guest additions and it needs those headers.

Have you tried on snapshot.debian.org? It should be there.

Using the binary tool search I finally found linux-headers-4.6.0-1-686
But when I click on it, it listes available versions all of which
start at 4.6.1 or better.

I guess that means its not there eh?

Any other suggestions?

Any particular reason you need that particular version?  Could you
upgrade your virtualbox VM to a different kernel and use the headers
for that kernel (or if I'm misremembering which kernel requires the
headers, upgrade the host machine kernel)?

I'm not sure about what you say there.  I'm not particularly
knowledgable about this but far as I can tell The guest addtions
require the guest OS's kernel headers to compile certain
modules... without them... no guest additions.

I already tried to upgrade the kernel on the guest OS to one with
headers available with apt-get.... but got into some trouble ending
with an non-bootable mess...

I'd rather leave the kernel building etc to someone who better knows
what they are doing.  It's said to be easily done....(Updating a
kernel) but my experience is a little different.  Or I'm just a little
dimmer than the average bear.

Just tried it, so I could be sure I was giving good advice...

I'm suggesting you go into your package manager in the guest machine (I
use aptitude, but that shouldn't matter) and do an upgrade to the
current versions of everything (this will include the current kernel).
Once you've done that, you should be able to install
virtualbox-guest-utils (also inside the package manager); this should
pull in everything needed to run the guest additions including the
headers for the now-current kernel.

You don't want to do it like that -- simply upgrading everything should
upgrade to the current version.

No kernel building is needed for this.

Done and done.... thank you.  The experience came off a little nicer
than last time ;)
