If, this afternoon (UK timezone), you do a full upgrade - you'll get
6.1.0-15 and that's fine.
If you're not currently booted into the erroneous 6.1.0-14 - don't boot into
it and you can safely apt-get remove it (or equivalent).
If you also install linux-image-amd64 if you removed it - you should end
up with 6.1.0-15 and 6.1.0-13 available to you.
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. On average, it's
OK to just upgrade to the next sequentially numbered kernel and reboot.
This once, it isn't.
All the very best, as ever,
