Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.linux-amd64@sideload.33mail.com A kernel installation failed due to a corrupt deb file that could not be unpacked. That was reported here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1071467 Apparently whatever generic installation mechanism is used, it fails to properly treat a botched delivery. That is, even though the deb file for kernel version 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 is only 1480 bytes and so corrupt it cannot even be unpacked, the package was erroneously flagged as installed, at least in part: ===8<---------------------------------------- $ dpkg -l | grep 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 iU linux-headers-6.6.13+bpo-amd64 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Header files for Linux 6.6.13+bpo-amd64 ii linux-headers-6.6.13+bpo-common 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 all Common header files for Linux 6.6.13+bpo iU linux-headers-amd64 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Header files for Linux amd64 configuration (meta-package) iF linux-image-6.6.13+bpo-amd64 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Linux 6.6 for 64-bit PCs (signed) iU linux-image-amd64 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package) ii linux-kbuild-6.6.13+bpo 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Kbuild infrastructure for Linux 6.6.13+bpo ii linux-libc-dev 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 all Linux support headers for userspace development ===8<---------------------------------------- Perhaps “iU” and “iF” are correct flags in the first column (it’s unclear because “man dpkg” does not document these). But grub alterations were carried out despite the failure and the default kernel became the version that could not even be unpacked from the deb file (6.6.13-1~bpo12+1). So it’s not just a failure of that kernel but also a failure in the installation logic, perhaps in apt. Though I doubt apt would influence grub, so I’m filing this in the virtual pkg linux-image-amd64 for lack of a better place. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages linux-image-amd64 depends on: ih linux-image-6.6.13+bpo-amd64 6.6.13-1~bpo12+1 linux-image-amd64 recommends no packages. linux-image-amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
