I would really appreciate if anyone can help me on this.

It's been awhile that I have problem on updating and downloading new apps. I can't open the Software centre and when I try to download app through terminal, it keeps showing this message: E: The package linux-headers-4.15.0-63-generic needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

I am really not good with technology. Thank you for your time and help!

    Does this answer your question? [Unable to update or install anything after moving to another country](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1169657/unable-to-update-or-install-anything-after-moving-to-another-country) – Raffa Apr 20 '20 at 17:05
  • `sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r)` - have you tried this? Show output of: `ls /boot/ | grep vmlinuz` – Gryu Apr 22 '20 at 19:37

The latest Linux kernel headers in Ubuntu 18.04 is version linux-headers-4.15.0-96-generic. Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt autoremove # removes linux-headers-4.15.0-63-generic
sudo apt update  
sudo apt upgrade
