I am not able to install the
linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64
kernel even after repeated trying. I tried several methods - sudo apt-get update
, sudo apt-get upgrade
, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
, sudo dkms --configure linux-headers-amd64
,sudo apt-get install linux-headers-amd64
, sudo apt install linux-image-amd64
; but to no avail. I have also seen sveral of the previous questions on this site like [link1](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/328655/cant-install-linux-headers-kali-linux) , [link2](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/604508/tp-link-archer-t4u-make-error-kali-linux) . In addition, the error the terminal shows is as follows:
dpkg: error processing package linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64 (--configure):
installed linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64 package post-installation
script subprocess returned error exit status 11
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-amd64:
linux-headers-amd64 depends on linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64
(= 6.8.11-1kali2); however:
Package linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64 is not configured yet.

From the errors, I feel the wifi driver rtl8188fu
is the one that creates trouble. But, it is the driver for the wifi adapter for my PC, and deleting it would mean no internet for me. So, how should I proceed. For information, I currently have linux-header uname -a
version as 6.6.9
. Rebooting will log me to the latest version Kali Linux 6.8.11
, but without wifi drivers in the ifconfig
, and without internet connection. For reference, here is first few lines of the content of the /var/lib/dkms/rtl8188fu/1.0/build/make.log file:

Any hints?
