After running below command i got error:
# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-4.9.0-3-amd64 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-4.9.0-3-amd64' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.9.0-3-amd64'
To troubleshoot i checked following:

After running apt-cache search linux-image i get linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64 kernal version which i want in the result of apt-cache search linux-headers command also.
Few people suggested to change sources.list and then try. But as i am new to this i don’t have idea how to search proper link for sources.list and what will be best suited to resolve my problem.
I did search on google but did not find solution. Any link or solution which can provide solution will be of great help.

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Method 1
For
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
to work, you need to be running a kernel which is still available from the distribution repositories; in most cases, this basically means you need to be running the latest supported kernel for your distribution.
On Debian, the simplest option is
apt-get update apt-get install linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64
(adjust to your architecture) to get the current kernel and matching headers, then reboot.
Method 2
The linux-headers-4.9.0-3-amd64 is outdated , it is removed and replaced with the more recent package linux-headers-4.9.0-11-amd64 that’s why you can’t install it from the regular repository.
You can install the linux-headers-4.9.0-3-amd64 from the snapshot archive repository:
edit your sources list:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/snapshot.list
Add the following lines:
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20170609T034604Z stretch main deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20170609T034604Z stretch-updates main deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20170920T221221Z stretch/updates main
then:
apt -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update apt install linux-headers-4.9.0-3-amd64
To access snapshots of suites using Valid-Until that are older than a dozen days, it is necessary to ignore the Valid-Until header within Release files, in order to prevent apt from disregarding snapshot entries (“Release file expired”). Use
aptitude -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false updateorapt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=falseupdate for this purpose.
Method 3
This worked for me after I submitted the command: apt-cache search linux-headers. I chose linux-headers-5.4.0-1009-oracle from the list. I’m using Windows 10 Professional!
