Thank you for the quick response. I had previously tried
apt udpate
sudo apt upgrade
and I would get

Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Attempting a routine package upgrade via KDE's Discovery app
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Clicked on "refresh" and then "update all"
* What was the outcome of this action?
<html>Dependency resolution failed:<br/><br/>The following packages have unmet
dependencies:
linux-image-amd64: Depends: linux-base-amd64 (= 7.1.13-1~bpo13+1) but
7.2.6-1~bpo13+1 is to be installed
</html>
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected a successful kernel update as happened from 7.1.8 to 7.1.13. I had
not changed any settings in Discover. I have had no issues with my boot
partition. I tried to update using apt, but that too does not work. Neither
linux-base-amd64 nor linux-image-amd64 will upgrade. Otherwise, the system
function normally.
Can you please provide the output of:
apt-get update
apt-get -t trixie-backports -s install linux-image-amd64
Regards,
Salvatore
