You run Volumio, a media player.  
So trying to download some random kernel headers is not advised.  
Run instead:  
`volumio kernelsource`

I’m not expert from Linux, but I need only get headers package for this kernel 6.12.74-v8+ aarch64.  
On DietPi I used  
sudo apt install linux-headers-rpi-2712 and everythig was ok.  
Is possible do simillar on Volumio?
