This is not a bug in nvidia-kernel-dkms.<br>
I assume this is a temporary breakage due to the ongoing 64-bit time_t <br>
transition which involves a huge amount of package renames.<br>
<br>
I cannot reproduce it in an up-to-date sid chroot with <br>
linux-headers-6.6.15-amd64 installed (which has been superseded by 6.7.* <br>
btw).<br>
<br>
Updating your system again should probably fix the issue.<br>
<br>
In case it persists: Which variant and version of the libelf.so.1 <br>
library do you have installed?<br>
<br>
dpkg -l libelf1 libelf1t64<br>
<br>
<br>
