Re: Need clarifications about how to deal with the installed problematic kernel, linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 (6.1.64-1)

2023-12-11 Thread Michael Kjörling
linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64 is a package name. (You can check this with apt-cache show.) openvpn_2.6.8-bookworm0_amd64.deb is presumably a file name. "File path" does not necessarily require specifying a directory component of the path; a bare file name is also a (relative) path. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
