      Hi everyone!

      I'm trying to build opencbmtools (tools for transfer disk images to a commodore floppy drive) under retropie.
      For this I'll need to install the linux-headers so i was looking for a linux-headers-generic package like in every debian based distribution...
      Unfortunally using apt-cache I've found only packages that differs from the version of the kernel that I use on my sysem.

      I'm running RetroPie v4.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

      pi@retropie:~ $ uname -r
      4.4.26-v7+
      pi@retropie:~ $

      pi@retropie:~ $ apt-cache search linux-headers
      [..cut..]
      linux-headers-4.4.0-1-all - All header files for Linux 4.4 (meta-package)
      raspberrypi-kernel-headers - Header files for the Raspberry Pi Linux kernel

      I've tried the last package but it contains 4.4.30 (if i remember correctly).

      I've read somewhere that to install some joypad drivers the retropiesetup downloads and installs the linux headers.

      Could someone provide me an url to the actual package or a way to get this job done?

      Thanks in advance!

        @Salvo-B sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade your kernel and the available headers will match.
