From Newsgroup: alt.os.linux.debian

System:
Single boot Debian 12 with btrfs and xfce. HW is 1.5 years old
and 10+ years old. The former is a stationary computer, the
latter a Lenovo X230.

I update regularly and fairly often using apt update, apt upgrade.
Backport repositories are used.

Problem:
Kernel 6.12.9+bpo-amd64 was installed but not configured properly in
January. Yet it shows up at the top of the GRUB menu and booting fails
unless I intervene and pick an older kernel.

All attempts at repairing or removing this kernel using apt or Synaptic
have failed. I have also tried snapper rollback without it resolving
the problem. All this on the laptop as the stationary computer is my
main system and I am not keen on wrecking it.

What next?
Try remove said kernel using dpkg -r ?
Wait for the next kernel update?

TIA

What is the *exact* failure message / error code that you're getting?

Worth a go but thatrCOs what apt/Syntaptic end up doing.

When booting without intervening I get nothing, just a flashing
cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.

The error message I get when "sudo apt upgrade" fails to configure the
6.12.9 kernel is very long and my system language is Swedish... Here
are the last few lines:

There's more to it than this -- there should be a reason that the

Please can you send the full output, or at least the "full output" from
where errors start happening?

While you're at it; wouldn't hurt to verify that you haven't run out of
space on any of your filesystems.

Problem:
Kernel 6.12.9+bpo-amd64 was installed but not configured properly in
January. Yet it shows up at the top of the GRUB menu and booting fails
unless I intervene and pick an older kernel.

All attempts at repairing or removing this kernel using apt or Synaptic
have failed.

What command did you use and what error did it show?

What I have tried is to identify a status before this issue appeared
and then rolling back the system to that state before trying to
repair or remove the offending kernel.

"sudo snapper-rollback 224"

reboot

Now the grub menu does not show the 6.12.9 kernel and booting is
painless. After this I have tried various combinations of:

"sudo apt-get check"
"sudo apt autoclean"
"sudo apt --fix-broken install"
"sudo apt autoremove"
"sudo apt autoremove linux-image-6.12.9+bpo-amd64"

I have also tried autopurge instead of autoremove. The only clear
error message I get is the one about failing to configure the 6.12.9
kernel due to some dependency issue (see previous post for details).

I have tried this more than once in case I missed something but I
always end where I started -- with a system needing manual intervention
to boot.

At least once I tried
"sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64"
but that made no difference.

In my best documented attempt the sequence of actions was:

"sudo snapper-rollback 224"

reboot

"sudo apt-get check"
"sudo apt autoclean"
"sudo apt --fix-broken install"

Followed by the abovementioned error message and finding I was back
at square one again when rebooting.

Last time around I only did the rollback + reboot followed by the
kernel hold commands before calling it a day. I ran my laptop in
this state for a while and found out:

1) In this rolled back state it will not mount USB flash drives.
2) After rebooting it's again back in the will-not-boot-by-itself state.

I am thoroughly puzzled by the second observation as I had not touched
apt or Synaptic apart from the kernel hold thing.

I ran "sudo apt update" + "sudo apt full-upgrade" earlier today and got

While you're at it; wouldn't hurt to verify that you haven't run out of
space on any of your filesystems.

As far as I can see using Baobab as well as btrfs tools there is no
space issue.

What is the *exact* failure message / error code that you're getting?

When booting without intervening I get nothing, just a flashing
cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.

The error message I get when "sudo apt upgrade" fails to configure the
6.12.9 kernel is very long and my system language is Swedish... Here
are the last few lines:

In multiple places it says there is a dependency issue

There's more to it than this -- there should be a reason that the
dependency (linux-headers-6.12.9+bpo-amd64) was unable to be configured,
likewise the other packages shown there at the end.

Please can you send the full output, or at least the "full output" from
where errors start happening?

I ran "sudo apt update" + "sudo apt full-upgrade" earlier today and got
this somewhat censored (I removed lines that, to me, looked irrelevant
beyond doubt):

Thanks for spotting this. This is 'above my pay grade' when it comes to
Linux management.

That make.log file tells me something called asm/unaligned.h is
missing. This is the case for both of my machines.

What now? A quick internet search only tells me this is a sign of
damaged package and repairing using apt or Synaptic has not worked.

OK, quick search through apt-file(1) indicates that this file is
included in the linux-header package(s). It seems there's an ordering
issue with dpkg doing package configuration for the kernel itself, and
handing off the wifi driver compilation to dkms.

Are you able to get online with something other than this broadcom wifi
card that is causing the error? If so, I would do this:

1. Remove the broadcom package
2. Update / install the new kernel and headers, etc. (and reboot)
3. Reinstall the Broadcome package

If that's not possible, then hold off on the kernel upgrade until you
have a way to get online (e.g. USB ethernet dongle).

I have been out of home over the weekend but today I checked what HW is
in my X230 and found no Broadcom. I have removed packages
broadcom-sta-dkms and broadcom-sta-commons. Now I get no error messages
when the system is updated/upgraded and no issues when booting.

I will do the same to my main system if I find it has no need for these packages.
