Having trouble installing packages with apt-get

How can I fix this problem? I try to install packages with apt-get and it wants to remove kernel-headers-grml. But I want to be able to install new packages. What is a good way to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry

Welcome Jerry,
I'm not great with computers but I'm learning a lot with grml.
The kernel headers are not important, I don't think, unless you are compiling software. You will still be able to install packages.
The package aptitude is generally preferred to apt-get and both function on the command line in a similar fashion. But the link between them has been broken recently so it may not be clever to change if all is OK with apt-get. Also I have recently found that aptsh, a pseudo-shell on top of apt-get, works very much faster for me with my 11 year old computer. I don't know how hard or easy it is for you to learn new packages like this.
Best Wishes Moss

kernel-headers-grml is needed only for the live-cd as it is intended as a replacement for linux-libc-dev. Removing the package on your hd installation is just fine, install linux-libc-dev instead.
