Hello, I want to install sysdig on an Ubuntu server hosted by Linode, but am getting an error:

* Installing kernel headers
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.18.1-x86-linode68
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.18.1-x86-linode68'
Unable to find kernel development files for the current kernel version 3.18.1-x86-linode68
This usually means that your system is not up-to-date or you installed a custom kernel version.
The installation will continue but you'll need to install these yourself in order to use sysdig.


The package in question is not available, and running `aptitude install linux-headers-generic` did not fix the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated; this looks like very useful software!

Unfortunately Linode doesn't provide kernel headers for their custom kernels.

You can find more information here, including a link to a tutorial explaining how to install a distribution stock kernel on Linode, which is probably the only clean option you have right now to run sysdig there:
