Update to a newer kernel.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-cache search linux-image

Then pick a suitable and available kernel. Install it, then reboot. After
that you should be able to find a suitable package for installing
linux-headers

Also if size is a concern. You should be able to *apt-get purge* the older
linux-image package . Once you've made sure the newer image works good for
you.
