#88024 — Bug#1107983: linux-image-6.12.32-amd64 missing /lib/modules directory

Package: linux-image-6.12.32-amd64
Version: 6.12.32-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: markasmith101@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
  
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Package: linux-image-6.12.32-amd64
Version: 6.12.32-1

After installing linux-image-6.12.32-amd64 on Debian testing (Trixie), the kernel boots fine but the /lib/modules/6.12.32 directory is missing.

This causes update-initramfs and DKMS to fail for this kernel, as no modules are present.

linux-image-6.12.31-amd64 works correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install linux-image-6.12.32-amd64 via apt
2. Run update-initramfs -u -k 6.12.32
3. Observe missing /lib/modules/6.12.32

Please check if the build is incomplete or if a dependency is missing.

Thanks!

The modules are correctly in the Debian package, can you thus please
provide the full apt and dpkg logs from your upgrade to the 6.12.32
kernel please?

(note that in above you have two commands you got the update-initramfs
call wrong (btw, it is done automatically on package installation), it
should be

update-initramfs -u -k 6.12.32-amd64

and the module directory is not /lib/modules/6.12.32 but
/lib/modules/6.12.32-amd64.

Regards,
Salvatore

Thanks for the reply Salvatore,

My system is now running uname -r 6.12.32-amd64 without issues...

When the update first installed and i rebooted - my system hung and i 
got an error related to what I had sent you - I am not the most 
technical when it comes to these specific issues so I had used ChatGPT 
to try and and resolve the issue, as i was able to select 6.12.31-amd64 
(which was option 3) from the grub menu and boot back into my system 
after the initial error.

I have Nvidia Driver Version: 550.163.01 and CUDA Version: 12.4 
installed on my system and there were also some errors related to this 
below the initial 6.12.32 error i reported but I think these were cause 
by the kernel error my system was showing - however, after some faffing 
about, reinstalling nvidia drivers and running further updates it seem 
my system did indeed update to 6.12.32-amd64 as needed and is now 
running fine.

I had asked ChatGPT if I should report this to the Debian team as I 
wanted to try and help and it gave me a template response which I sent you.

If anything like this should ever happen again, I will make sure I 
gather/save any logs and or screen shots if possible - as I would like 
to help you guys in any small way that I can, as I am very impressed 
with Trixie and want to use this as my daily driver going forward...

So if you have any suggestions or recommendations on what I should do if 
I ever need to log any issues with you guys in the future (which I doubt 
as your software tends to be excellent) then please let me know or send 
me a link to any useful info as ChatGPT can give less than perfect info 
on this.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Mark
