error report - kernel excalibur-backports

dummy@example.com (kapqa) — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 19:53:54 +0000

Hello ,

have accidentally shot down my partition so it took me some time to recover

have noticed that on another partition the kernel is already above 7 (for excalibur, via bpo)

now on this new install, the kernel via backports does not seem wanna install;

maybe i did something wrong, otherwise please consider it as an "error bugreport" posted here instead of official bugreport.

getting this

sudo apt -t excalibur-backports install linux-image-amd64
