I've submitted an SRU patch that outputs a clearer message. In the
meantime, rather then installing the ABI dependent package directly, you
should install the meta-package linux-tools-lts-quantal, e.g.,
sudo apt-get install linux-tools-lts-quantal

Title:
linux-tools-common depends on old kernel versions for LTS point
releases
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “linux” source package in Precise:
In Progress
Bug description:
It looks like 12.04.2 uses kernel 3.5 line although `linux-tools-
common` depends on kernel 3.2 line. In order to use `perf` tool it is
always required to install the correct version manually which is
broken when kernel updates.
Steps to produce:
1. Use a fresh 12.04.2 install
2. Install linux-tools-common
$ sudo apt-get install linux-tools-common
..
3. Try to run perf tool and get the error:
$ perf stat /bin/ls
perf not found for kernel 3.5.0-44
You may need to install linux-tools-3.5.0-44-generic
(Optional workaround)
4. Install the correct version manually:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-tools-3.5.0-44
..
$ perf stat /bin/ls
.. (runs as expected)
5. Update to the next kernel version when an update comes in
6. Now the perf tool stops working and needs your attention to manually
update to the next version:
$ perf stat /bin/ls
perf not found for kernel 3.5.0-45
You may need to install linux-tools-3.5.0-45-generic
7. Rinse and repeat
