   The issue was caused by linux-image-6.17.8+deb13-amd64 being stuck in a   
   half configured state, which caused all subsequent dpkg transactions to   
   fail. Once the kernel package was cleaned up and reconfigured successfully   
   (including fixing the underlying /boot state and rerunning initramfs/grub),   
   the issue resolved and package installation works normally again.   
   This does not appear to be a kernel packaging bug but a local system state   
   issue compounded by PackageKit retries.
