Hi Philippe,

This is probably more of a debian-user question - let's continue
there.

My bullseye machines have been offered the updated package so it
seems likely there is a problem with or misunderstanding about your
setup.

Can you show us the output of:

$ dpkg-query --show linux-image-amd64
$ dpkg-query --show linux-image-5.10.0-10-amd64
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

please?

On my bullseye systems, linux-image-amd64 is at version 5.10.84-1
and this depends upon linux-image-5.10.0-10-amd64 version 5.10.84-1.

Thanks,
Andy

Hello Andy,

After tests on my Debian 11 virtual machine, the installation of the new upgraded kernel is ok.

philippe@station:~$ uname -a
Linux station 5.10.0-10-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.84-1 (2021-12-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

But on my workstation it's problematic !?

A few weeks ago I installed the 5.14 backports kernel on this PC, but since the Nvidia 460.91.03-1: amd64 arm64 driver does not work with this kernel, I have uninstalled this backports kernel manually.

However I did not modify the default installation of the kernel 5.10.70-1. After this, the upgrade to Debian 5.10.84-1 not work.

I had to force the installation of the 5.10.84-1 kernel with this command :

apt update && apt install linux-image-amd64 -y && apt install linux-headers-amd64 -y && apt install firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree

I'm afraid I will have the same problem in the future...

My source list is ok :

philippe@station:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Purge the 5.14 kernel - dpkg --purge [package name] - then comment out
the backports lines entirely.

Then apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade to bring yourself definitely
up to 11.2 - that should sort it out, I think.

All the very best, as ever,

Check the output of

apt list -a linux-image-amd64

You should have the version in stable(-security) installed, in which
case the next upgrade should work automatically.

Kind regards,
Andrei
