I'm having some issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 23.04 (from 22.10). I had the proprietary AMD drivers installed for my video card, and after the upgrade the amdgpu-dkms package is causing me apt errors:
$ sudo amdgpu-uninstall

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I'm trying to uninstall all the proprietary AMD GPU drivers, but I don't seem to be able to. The uninstall script is complaining about some missing headers (grep: /boot/config-5.19.0-38-generic: No such file or directory), which I think were uninstalled as part of the upgrade, and are not available in the 23.04 repos. I managed to install them by hand, but I'm still seeing the same error.
At the moment, my goal is to uninstall the drivers entirely, but I don't know how to force it to remove the package. I could also be looking at this wrong, and there's a better solution. Can anyone suggest anything that could help here?
