That will handle the "corresponding" part, but not AFAIK the "automatically" part - which I parse as meaning "when I install a new (version of) linux-image-*, linux-headers-* should get installed along with it, without me needing to do anything extra at install time to make that happen". I have yet to manage to think of a way to *ensure* that automation in all circumstances, for all methods of initiating upgrade. It just doesn't wind up mattering for me very often in practice, since I primarily run package upgrades by either # apt-get dist-upgrade or # apt-get install $(apt-mark showmanual | grep "^PATTERN") where PATTERN can be a number of things depending on which installed-package subset I want to upgrade, but in this case would be "linux". -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
