Now it's working, I guess there was some maintenance going on. If you know the reason that package wasn't available this morning please share :)

  • It happens quite often and thats the reason I have started to use apt list <pkg name> to rule out spelling errors, one possible fault ruled out.

To verify if a package exists or not in a repository, use:

apt list raspberrypi-kernel-headers

apt list accepts wildcards, ex:

apt list raspberrypi*

  • Thank you for your answer. No, apt-get is not deprecated. No, running apt does not help. Please, revisit apt policy documentation.
