I apologise in advance; I'm not a proficient Linux user.
I get errors whenever I try to do anything with apt. This was after upgrading to 23.04 from 18.04 through 20.04, 22.04, and 22.10 using the GUI.
It looks like the dkms build was skipped or something and I have (many) old modules. But I'm unsure what to remove (or how to) and what to keep. I'm running 6.2.0-27-generic with 6.2.0-26-generic as a recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is what I get if I run apt-get autoremove. I'm removing a ton of Deprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD (/var/lib/dkms/e1000e/3.4.2.4/source/dkms.conf) messages from the following output:
