Package: linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64

The installation of linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64 hung while configuring linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64, and I have been stuck since with a half-configured linux-image with no option to resolve, preventing dpkg and apt from running.

update-initramfs works if run from the command line, but dpkg freezes after invoking it.

$ uname -a

When invoking dpkg, it hangs after seemingly completing update-initramfs:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64 (6.1.94-1) ...

End-result is that linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64 remains in half-configured state:

$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii  linux-image-6.1.0-21-amd64                    6.1.90-1                            amd64        Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed)

Have I stumbled on a bug?

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
