I am trying to install VB 6.1 on a Debian host with a kernel of 5.10.0-9. When I do, I get the message "Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.10.0-9-amd64". I am not sure what my recourse is. This is a new installation and I do not have older kernels installed. I spent hours online trying to find a solution, but had no success. I really need this to work...
Any help would be appreciated.

Virtualbox has prerequisites for installation in Linux, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq
Re: Missing Kernel Headers
True. And it is running on a supported release of Debian (Buster)

Re: Missing Kernel Headers
Being a supported release does not imply that prerequisites are already installed. Only that they are available. What checking did you do?
