So it looks you do not have linux-headers-amd64 package installed, the
metapackage puling in the latest version of the headers in sync with
the installed (metapackage) linux-image-amd64.

Due to this the OOT module was built for 6.12.43 based version (for
which you have the headers installed) but not for the 6.12.48 one.

Install thus the linux-headers-amd64 package which should resolve your
issue to get the OOT module built with dkms as well for 6.12.48.

Regards,
Salvatore
