Bug Description

Since Unbunt 12.04 was upgraded with kernel 3.5.0, the linux-headers for 3.5 are missing in the default repositories.
You can still see linux-headers-3.2.0-*-generic packages, but no 3.5 yet.

This is blocking for Virtualbox installation for instance, that need the headers to build the modules.

Can you run apt-get update and see if this is still an issue?

The problem is still there.
Summary :
- I have Ubuntu 12.04
- my kernel is : Linux PC-olivier 3.5.0-3-generic #3-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 2 18:51:55 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
- I want to install VirtualBox and it needs kernel headers for kernel 3.5.0-3-generic
- There is no way to install these headers, Synaptic only proposes 3.2 kernels !
The question is : where does this problem come from ? My 3.5 kernel was installed autoamtically, I only used ubuntu repositories and did not fiddle with the configuration. So why ?
