Summary0004663: Uname -r does not match pacakge versions.
Description

Running uname -r returns 4.14.0.kali3-amd64

But when installing the following package apt-get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms it has a dependency of linux-headers-4.14.0.kali3-amd64. But the only linux headers installed on kali and available via the rolling repo (etc/apt/sources) are 4.15.0-kali2.

I believe that this is a bug. The uname -r should be returning 4.15.0-kali2-amd64 instead of `

Steps To Reproduce

Run uname -r
Run apt-get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
It will break cause the dependency of linux-headers-4.14.0.kali3-amd64 is not installed
Run apt-cache search linux-headers and all that is returned is linux-headers-4.15.0-*

This should be fixed (in a few hours at most) as the linux-headers-amd64 now pulls the 4.15 package.
