I'm trying to use virtualbox 4.3 from their own ppa's (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads).

When i install this, i get:
Code:

Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMSError! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.8.0-23-generic cannot be found.
Please install the linux-headers-3.8.0-23-generic package,
or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located
(This is also the output of 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup')

But that headers package can't be installed, is it not in the repo?
Code:

$ sudo aptitude install linux-headers-3.8.0-23-generic
No candidate version found for linux-headers-3.8.0-23-generic

Comically, there is already a module for that kernel version.
Code:

$ locate vboxdrv
/lib/modules/3.11.0-12-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
/lib/modules/3.11.0-13-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
/lib/modules/3.11.0-14-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
/lib/modules/3.8.0-23-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10.
