I have already backed up the patch file on my dekstop. If I install -16 from

from -16. How will I force dkms to rebuild it after that?
Since the package installation failed, you can just resume that with
dpkg --configure --pending
Otherwise, you can also invoke dkms manually:
dkms build nvidia-legacy-340xx/340.108 [--force] [-k 6.1.0-3-amd64]
dkms install nvidia-legacy-340xx/340.108 [--force] [-k 6.1.0-3-amd64]
dkms status nvidia-legacy-340xx/340.108 [-k 6.1.0-3-amd64]
The kernel flag (-k ..., please use the correct kernel for your machine,
the current kernel in sid would be 6.1.0-3-amd64) is optional if you
just want to target the running kernel version (that would be what
'uname -r' outputs).
Also, I definitely don't want it to build a faulty driver and debian to fail
reaching the desktop on next boot.
