I found help in #osuosl for a physical presence, but found that
the problem is that kernel headers are missing on osgeo6, and the
installed kernel does not have corresponding headers.

Installed kernel is 4.7.0, but packages exist only for 3.16.0 and
4.9.0, so I guess 4.7.0 was installed "manually", do you know about
that ? Should I attempt a kernel upgrade ?
