Problem installing ATI driver 13.3 beta on Ubuntu Precise 12.04


OS: Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS 64 bit
Kernel : 3.5.0-27-generic
Header files:




dpkg -s linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Package:
linux-headers-3.5.0-27-generic
Status: install ok installed





deb packages build successfully via :




sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.3-beta3-linux-x86.x86_64.run
--buildpkg Ubuntu/precise




But when I try to install sudo apt-get install fglrx*.deb I see it is unable to find linux header files.





dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fglrx: fglrx
depends on linux-headers-generic | linux-headers; however: Package
linux-headers-generic is not installed. Package linux-headers is not
installed.




It seems it is looking for 3.2.x kernel header files which are default for 12.04



How to resolve this issue?
