I'ts not installed per default on a fresh installation

It was not fresh, but a couple of days old. Forgive me, I misspoke earlier. (I was still posting while the toddlers were awake, which short circuits a good portion of higher thought).

For some reason it seems to prefer the 4.8.15 version. Once I updated it manually with:

Terminal

apt-get install linux-libc-dev=4.9.51-1

it seems to be perfectly happy to install build-essential.

A lot of packages are pinned, please look into file /etc/apt/preferences.d/xbian

Sure, if you don't want do compile off-tree kernel modules
