Bug#1081739: linux-headers-6.10.9-amd64: apt-get error when installing linux-headers

Dear Salvatore,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Of course, I would like to support by providing the additional information.

As this is my first bug report, would you please give me a hand by explaining how I best obtain the required full apt install log and the complete list of installed DKMS modules installed on my system?

I would like to highlight that the actual installation of the Linux headers seems to work despite the apt error because the building of the Virtualbox modules is completed successfully an I can run VBox virtual machines.
I just get, whenever I perform the apt-get update, dist-upgrade, autoremove, autoclean sequence, the ominous error message which wasn't the case some weeks ago with previous kernel updates.
Thus I believe, it is just an error in a script invoked by the header file package that is causing the message. Apart from that, I did not notice any crashes or instability.

Best regards
Hans K.

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation? Installing linux-header files for the recent kernel to run VirtualBox
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)? After a kernel update I just installed the header-files linux-headers-6.10.9-amd64 & linux-headers-6.10.9-common (along with linux-kbuild-6.10.9) with Synaptic when Synaptic (as well as apt-get) showed the error.
   * What was the outcome of this action? I can configure the VirtualBox modules for the new kernel but whenever I run apt-get (or Synaptic) I get the error message (German): dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes linux-headers-6.10.9-amd64 (--configure):
 »installiertes post-installation-Skript des Paketes linux-headers-6.10.9-amd64«-Unterprozess gab den Fehlerwert 11 zurück
   * What outcome did you expect instead? No error-message as it was 3 kernel sub-versions before (I guess until 6.10.2 or so).

Can you please provide your full apt install log for it, which dkms
modules are present installed in your stystem and is the failure on
building the virtualbox modules?

Regards,
Salvatore
