I haven't used IDE for a while and today, when i opened to do something, it was throwing me multiple errors. Error 1 : error: Found argument '--filter-platform' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context The rust-analyzer invokes the command cargo metadata with the flag --filter-platform.

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.10.0-kali5-amd64
I encountered this while compiling a C code.
To fix this, i first updated my Kali machine (v2020.2a).
sudo apt update -y && apt upgrade -y && apt dist-upgrade
Rebooted. Then installed the headers.
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
