Hello, I'm new here and always trying to learn some more about linux/debian in general.
A few days ago I attempted to upgrade to the 6.9.7 kernel backport. Surprisingly the process failed. It appears to be related to dkms failing to build the driver given by the package "v4l2loopback-dkms" with the 6.9 headers. The build fails and the problem is clear, it cannot resolve the function "strlcpy()". After looking it up this appears to be due to the kernel sometime around ~6.8 dropping it's usage (see here https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... -1-2-fails).
My question is to the state of my system after this hiccup.
- The kernel was installed but not set as default, so I still boot with 6.7.12 (and can use the v4l2loopback driver just fine). However, 6.6.13 is now marked for removal. Is this correct?
- I just upgraded some other packages and the dkms setup for the new kernel attempted to run again. Will this happen at every package install/upgrade?
- Should I take any action?
Thanks,
And just in case, here's the dkms setup failure:
