Your running kernel is <INSTALLED_VERSION> but the version of
kernel-headers is <UPDATED_VERSION> . So I think you will not find
kernel source for your version.

(how nice it is to use Debian and not to have this. BTW: Ubuntu seems ti
defer at that point from Debian: a Kernel upgrade can easily be from a
different kernel release)
