Debian 12 - Bookworm Live installer ISO for linuxcnc (x86_64)

I don't understand why this is happening. Is it a new installation?
Why has dkms been loaded? do you have any drivers (eg realtek NIC drivers) installed that requires it? 

new installation. downloaded the image maybe a week ago? i dont know what a dkms is. basically i had 2.9pre installed, and it was all working but i was having issues getting glade working, so i decided to install 2.9.1

i did some googling and found this code, and it seems to have made it happy again.

# rm /etc/{initramfs/post-update.d/,kernel/{postinst.d/,postrm.d/}}z50-raspi-firmware
# apt purge raspi-firmware

dkms is the mechanism via which debian & ubuntu based distros rebuild third party kernel modules when a new kernel is installed.

From the screen dump, you have nothing to upgrade so its not an issue.
That raspberry pi bug seems to have returned to Debian core code. Its not a Linuxcnc thing
SO the error is in relation to the  rasppi firmware it thinks is installed.

try sudo apt remove z50-raspi-firmware or
sudo apt remove raspi-firmware if it errors

This is a very annoying regression on the debian side.
When I get out of hospital,I will try supressing the installation of   raspi-firmware in the installer.

WTH are you doing in a hospital?
Wishing you a fast and painless recovery, from whatever it is.

Thats what I said! 2 nights ago I was worried about I might have a heart thing going on and went to emergency and they diagnosed pneumonia. Really strange because I had no symptoms for asthma which I would expect from any lung condition. Hopefully I will be home today as we must have got it early.

Oh good you caught it early, a bit of corticosteroids and it is gone, usually.

Shit Rod, that's bad.
The worst part of pneumonia is the recovery period once you get rid of it.

You were lucky, I went to a quack with all the symptoms of pneumonia and the idiot diagnosed a "sore" throat. Luckily I had the sense to get a second opinion, bacterial pneumonia, not a "sore throat".
