Any Help will be highly appreciated.

I think I have the same question as OP. This morning I used apt to install 50+ recent updates. (The updates also happened to include a kernel update, if that’s relevant.)
After rebooting, running autoremove and autoclean, and lastly apt update again, this is the result:

linux-headers-amd64/byzantium-security,now 5.10.191-1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 5.10.197-1]
How do we properly install the latest linux-headers package?
Exactly I have done same as yesterday some updates were came for pureos after sudo apt-get upgrade and then sudo apt-get update it made some issues on Linux kernel headers and when everything get done it said one package can be upgraded and that was Linux kernel headers and I tried much but can’t upgraded and when I used sudo apt autoremove so idk what wrong happened at last I removed Linux headers now and everything is fine now my question is should I need to install it as update is not showing it required or anything else or is it optional and what is the purpose of it.
Many thanks
Oh, I don’t want to uninstall linux-headers, unless absolutely necessary.
I am still unable to upgrade the linux-headers package.

The package does not update using the normal commands. Is anyone else experiencing this, or know how to fix it?
I have been searching on my own, and the best resource article I could find about this is here:
yes same here basically I uninstalled linux headers for installing again from repo of pureos but It is not installing anymore and before doing that I was at same position where you’re keep searching brother I am doing same maybe we get some solution if someone has solution for it kindly share with us
@joao.azevedo
Thank you! Just now I upgraded a handful of other packages and the entire queue was processed as expected. (I’m using the Librem Mini)

I was having a different problem from you so I cannot be sure how to help, but this post discusses possible solutions … use at your own risk.
