I was able to update the kernel to version 6.12.32 last week without errors using Synaptic

I couldn't. An error occurred in synaptic:

E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-headers-6.12.32-amd64:amd64

Then I tried to remove all 6.12.32 leftovers. And another error in synaptic:

Code: Select all

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-6.12.32-amd64-unsigned_6.12.32-1~mx23ahs+1_amd64.deb: new linux-image-6.12.32-amd64-unsigned package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127

Details are:

According to the error log, required dependencies of the packages to be installed could not be fulfilled. The required version of the linux-base package is not installed on the system.

To do this, please activate the repository for the bookworm-backports in synaptic and update the linux-base package from version 4.9 to the latest version 4.12~bpo12+1. The kernel 6.12.32-1+mx23+1 can then be installed.

Apparently, it really needs a newer linux-base to work, so we have that now in our ahs section, where the AHS kernels also live. Apparently, my telling it to use the Bookworm 4.9 wasn't enough.

It is working now, dependencies have been fixed, thanks :)
