yep depends don't look right for bookworm on that one @Stevo

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2025 10:42 am**

I'll check--I don't think it's an explicit dependency, and backports' 6.12.30 doesn't mention having to change it.

thanks.

its shown as a pre-depend.

I'm rebuilding it. Maybe I accidentally asked pbuilder to build it with trixie.

I don't have the buildinfo file that gets sent up with the packages any longer, and I don't think they are in the repo, but I think Tim keeps them, and that would show it in a second.

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2025 12:50 pm**

The buildinfo files show it was built with debian 12 & MX-23 packages.
debian/control does have the Pre-Depends: linux-base (>= 4.12~) for every linux-image package entry.
The previous debian kernel (6.12.29) had (>= 4.3~)

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2025 1:17 pm**

OK, will have to change that...the actual control file get assembled from other template files at build time, so linux-base instead of lsb-base gives me something to search for.

I have some indications that the nvidia-open-kernel-dkms from Trixie might build on 6.15 kernels, so will test that.

Searching the changelog doesn't bring up anything about Debian changing that, as far as I can tell.

linux-base 4.12 is available in the stable-backports. Therefore, I was able to update the kernel to version 6.12.32 last week without errors using Synaptic.

I will try thanks!

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2025 6:23 pm**

Thanks! I think I'll port over the backports version to MX so I don't have to change it for every single Trixie kernel backport.

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:

Code: Select all

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:

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 :)
