These virtual packages only exist as a mechanism to ensure that you get
the latest kernel/headers packages. You're going to be removing the old
packages and then reinstalling will all be done in a few minutes.
I try to run the latest/greatest kernel version, just seems to be
easier... the latest is 2.6.38... (At least that's the latest Debian
packaged version... Ubuntu *might* be running older kernels, but I'd
still want something newer than 2.6.22.)
So as root run:
apt-get purge linux headers-generic linux-image-generic
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
This should get you the latest and greatest kernel and headers.
