Package: nvidia-driver Version: 535.216.03-2 I was doing an `apt upgrade` of linux-image from 6.12.13 to 6.12.16 and it failed. No nvidia package was updated (but some mesa packages were).

After I installed it (`apt install pahole`), it compiled correctly (in the pahole install command, no need for an extra one). This problem was not on `linux-image-6.12.13-amd64` (or earlier). I guess there is a missing dependency on the `pahole` as it is used in the make script. But I was updating nvidia-driver recently (yesterday) and did not notice any problem. PS: This is my first bug report to Debian, sorry if it is incorrect.
