unable to upgrade kernel - 'dpkg: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured' and '(dkms apport): kernel package linux-*** is not supported'

id flag

Currently, my kernel version is: 6.4.10-060410-generic and I'm using Ubuntu 23.04. When I was trying to upgrade my kernel suddenly I got an error. I get this error not only for version 6.5.1 but also when I want to upgrade to any version.

Also, while I was able to update with mainline without any errors before, I started getting such errors after I wanted to install version 6.5.0 and I cannot update to any version.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
