[clue-cert] Help with VMware/VirtualBox - Linux header kernel problems

[Ward]

It isn't working.  Here is the response that I am getting:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package linux-headers-2.6.24-23-generic is not available, but is
referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package linux-headers-2.6.24-23-generic has no installation candidate


any thoughts?
