I have been trying to install Linux headers for Kali Linux 2020 on my machine and I have tried every possible solution on the internet but it always show “Unable to locate packages “.
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.4.0-kali2-amd64
E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘linux-headers-5.4.0-kali2-amd64’
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘linux-headers-5.4.0-kali2-amd64’
After days of googling, I found a solution for installing the linux-headers
The Problems I Faced
The Usual Method (Didn’t work for most of us)
apt update -y && apt upgrade -y && apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
So Here is How I Did It
Step 1
apt update -y && apt upgrade -y && apt dist-upgrade
Step 2
uname -r
Step 3

I have Kernel 4.15.0-kali2-amd64. I have downloaded the header file for this kernel. But when I’m trying to install it I’m getting below error
”
dpkg: error processing archive efi-modules-4.15.0-kali2-amd64-di_4.15.11-1kali1_amd64.udeb (–install):
trying to overwrite ‘/lib/modules/4.15.0-kali2-amd64/kernel/drivers/firmware/efi/efivars.ko’, which is also in package linux-image-4.15.0-kali2-amd64 4.15.11-1kali1
Errors were encountered while processing:
efi-modules-4.15.0-kali2-amd64-di_4.15.11-1kali1_amd64.udeb

If anyone have any solution for this please assist. I’m trying to configure it since last 4 days but not working for me.
Thanks in advance.
