I'm confused. I'm running openSUSE 10.2
when I try this:
install linux-kernel-headers-generic
Loading cache...
Updating cache...               ######################################## 
[100%]

error: 'linux-kernel-headers-generic' matches no packages. Suggestions:
error:     linux-kernel-headers-2.6.18.2-3 at i586

I see the suggestion is 2.6.18.2-3 at i586

yet my systen shows:
Paulspc:/home/pbc/Documents/software # uname -a
Linux Paulspc 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:17:53 UTC 2007 i686 
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

why am I running 18.8 yet the headers are only 18.2 ??
