Dear Maintainer,

(Opting for grave/usersec because naturally updated kernels
 fix security vulnerabilities, but actually i think i can't update the
 kernel and that's grave, security be damned.)

From a purely academic standpoint, I don't really see why
linux-headers-$ver would depend on linux-image-$ver at all?
one wants to build for linux but not care for or want the image
(and i-t &c.) quite often.
but whatever.

The real kicker is, I think going by the unmet-dep list,
the gcc-13 dependency, with linux-headers-6.7.7-amd64:amd64
now trying to pull in gcc-13:amd64 for an unknown reason.

  Description: Compiler for Linux on x86 (meta-package)
   This package depends on GCC of the appropriate version and architecture
   for Linux on amd64, i386 and x32.
‒ which correctly and expectedly pulled in gcc-13:x32.
Because this is an x32 host.

Please revert this change and pull in the correct compiler again.

Best,

(One has to assume this would be a similar scenario on an i386 host using
 an amd64 kernel; this is rare in a.d. 2024 probably, but.)

x32 is multi-arch kernel only architecture.  Debian still don't have
proper support for multi-arch for compilers.

Just use amd64.

I don't get this. This literally Just fully worked.

gcc-13:x32 can produce x32, amd64, and i386 binaries and modules;
if you noticed the taints, those are because of ZFS/dkms,
which works out-of-box.

One could hazard to say that Debian /did/ have proper multi-arch
compiler support with
  linux-headers-6.5.0-5-amd64:amd64 ->
  linux-compiler-gcc-13-x86:x32 ->
  gcc-13:x32
and it was freshly broken in the 6.7 packages which seem to be
  linux-headers-6.5.0-5-amd64:amd64 ->
  gcc-13:amd64
there's never been a need to install gcc-13:amd64 on an x32 system,
and there still isn't.

The previous arrangement had worked with no issues
for at least the 4 years I've been using this system,
and probably longer.

Don't really see how "can no longer install kernel infrastructure"
is "minor", either.
Just undo the change that broke x32.
