after an apt dist-upgrade going from 8.1.3 to 8.1.5 i have packages not installed:
linux-headers-6.1.0-18-amd64
linux-headers-amd64

The machine reboots fine fortunately, and rerunning the dist-upgrade i was able to copy paste the output.

What does "patched" mean? It is not NVidia's official driver? At any rate, you need an updated driver. It is trying to use GPL symbols, which are not allowed in a proprietary driver.

Not sure what Nvidia video card you're trying to install this for, but I'm running Promox 7.4-17 and I made the grave mistake of updating my PROD system.

As a result, my RTX A2000 stopped working, so I had to download the latest driver (550.67) and install that instead of the previous driver that I was using (535.154.*).

I am rebooting my server now to make sure that the new driver worked, but it was able to compile the kernel modules successfully, so maybe you can try that?
