Of course you will not have the package if you didn't have the package in your list cache. Normally the easiest method is using the meta-packages instead:

apt-cache depends linux-headers-generic
linux-headers-generic Depends: linux-headers-3.8.0-31-generic Conflicts: linux-headers-generic:i386

Or better yet to install both headers and image from the same version use the linux generic package:

apt-cache rdepends linux-headers-generic
linux-headers-generic
Reverse Depends: linux-generic
apt-cache depends linux-generic
linux-generic Depends: linux-image-generic Depends: linux-headers-generic

So, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-generic then reboot the system to get the most updated headers and image for your system.
