p   linux-headers-amd64             - Header files for Linux amd64 configuration

but i need to get 32 bit kernel headers

how to do that with apt?

Solution

It required to modify /etc/apt/sources.list adding i386 to downloadable architectures like that:

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib 

After that you need to make

apt-get update
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

and to install package for i386 architecture:

apt-get install linux-headers-3.16.0-4-686-pae:i386

This is probably a dupe of unix.stackexchange.com/q/12956/4671. Voting to close as dupe.

I think it is not duplicate because it is easy way just to get a package without creating schroot envieronment.

Modifying the sources.list is not necessary.

Especially not with a Quantal source on a Jessie system!
