For your convenience, I quote a section of his reply (see below): "Yes, because linux-image-amd64 *right now* depends on linux-image-6.1.0-15-amd64. Removing linux-image-6.1.0-15-amd64 will therefore remove linux-image-amd64." Removing the buggy linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 will also remove the metapackage linux-image-amd64. > This isn't something that happens often - ideally not more than once a > decade - so we haven't had a lot of practice at this. Thank goodness it only happens once in a blue moon. Someone might wish to add to Debian's wiki on how to deal with the situation of having a buggy kernel made available via the official repos, a few hours later a warning against upgrading to it and the release team failing to pull it out of the official repos. Best wishes. Stella
