It's ok, nothing else to do, except maybe prompt replies to requests for information from the Maintainer (if applicable) :) However,,, (see below) > > > * What led up to the situation? > > > my wifi driver does not work after each update. gnome softawre updates > > > the kernel without asking.

Security update *without* ABI change The Linux image package (e.g. something like linux-image-4.19.0-13-amd64) has a new version. Such a change should have no impact on external drivers unless they are buggy. In this case the package version can be 'pinned', assuming this is respected by Gnome Software. 2. Security update *with* ABI change In case the update is more intrusive the ABI changes. In this case the package linux-image-4.19.0-13-amd64 will be superseded by the package linux-image-4.19.0-14-amd64. Because this a new package it will be installed only if you also have linux-image-amd64 installed, whose only purpose is to "pull" the latest Linux image package for your release. If this is what you are seeing then it is usually enough to just remove linux-image-amd64, while keeping the Linux image package installed. Please note the above applies to Debian stable using APT. As far as I know gnome-software is just a frontend to APT, though I don't know if it is 100% compatible. You might want to contact one of Debian's support channels for advice and update your report accordingly. https://www.debian.org/support Kind regards, Andrei -- Looking after bugs assigned to unknown or inexistent packages
