errors during upgrade

#1 Post by LawrieH »

Hi, Every time the system updates (I'm on MX23-3 (see attached system info) I get errors (dpkg dependancy problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-amd64), although the system appears to run OK. Any help greatly appreciated - although familiar with Linux I am not at all knowledgable on the technical side.

posting the error would be helpfule, but usually when its a dependency problem on the headers package some dkms driver isn't building correctly. you might be able to generate the message with

Code: Select all

dpkg --configure -a
or if not by just installing something with apt.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Hi and thanks for your posts - I've managed to clear the error (I think) by reinstalling DKMS and the kernel libraries using synaptic. just waiting for the next update.
