Parrot 4.1 headers not found

#1

Last few days i was upgrading the linux,and uh, seems its fine things are good but in case the problem started when i try to open the vbox and it said “Kernel Headers not found”, and i try to uninstall the vbox, and switch to vmware, and still it said not found, and i checked the linux header in /usr/src/ , its only the linux-headers-parrot-5.1.0
