linux headers for debian armhf and gcc

[cswl]

I'm running debian testing on my armhf machine.
I need to install linux headers after searching with apt-cache. I ran the command

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.16.0-4-all-armhf

But it says it will also install gcc-4.8..
I checked my gcc version which is 4.9. and running. sudo apt-get install gcc . says gcc is already the new version.

How do i install the headers without installing gcc-4.8

Post the output of:

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy gcc

It wants 4.8 because that's (presumably) the version with which the kernel was compiled.

Installing the linux-headers-3.16.0-4-common does not pull in the old gcc.

Thanks for the helps..
