[...]

this error means you're missing the linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-amd64
package.  do you have it installed?  note that the *32-trunk* kernel
version is rather old, and some additional dkms compatibility was
added in the *32-3* version.  you should really want to be running the
latest kernel releases.
