3.19-2.dmz.2 is the current version.

Try running apt-get update again, then try the whole thing again.

If you still see issues, there may be an issue with the metapackage.

Also show, after running apt-get update again, and if you have issues still:
:: Code ::
apt-cache policy linux-headers-liquorix-amd64

apt-cache show linux-headers-liquorix-amd64


The show in particular will show if there is an actual problem in the dependencies of the metapackage, the policy will show what versions are actually in apt repos.

Also show inxi -r
to make sure we have all the repos, if there are further issues.

The OP has Debian Wheezy, so does not have the gcc-4.9 that the header package depends on. However, the MEPIS community repository does have Wheezy-compatible backports of the kernels in the testing repo: main.mepis-deb.org/

I ran into this same issue on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 and the Liquorix 4.9 builds, and had to install gcc-6 to resolve it.
