Additional Information (if applicable)

• Can this issue be replicated on a fresh installation of DietPi?
  yes

Steps to reproduce

1. apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Expected behaviour

• I expect the linux headers package to be installed

Actual behaviour

• apt is unable to find the package

Extra details

• I am trying to build the RTL8822BU drivers (GitHub - RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver: Realtek RTL88x2BU WiFi USB Driver for Linux) for a D-Link DWA-181 USB WiFi dongle
• The make process fails almost immediately because /lib/modules/5.10.110/build does not exist. I think this is because the Linux headers are not installed, but I cannot find the right package to install

Welcome to our community.

Well, we don’t host nor develop kernel and/or header packages. But we are already looking for them as they are required for other software title like Wireguard as well.

Thanks. The project looks really nice. It is nice to have something that just works and is not proprietary like the FriendlyCore version.

Does the lack of header packages mean I cannot build the RTL8822BU?

as stated above, we already checking for the availability
