I'm getting the following errors from the postinst. The above ls output shows that the files in question exist. The entire process produces modules that can be loaded and which work, but fails the postinst. The error about the module version not being newer would be because the postinst has been run many times (every time I install packages) and compiles the same files. Maybe there should be a --force to address that case.
dkms fails to get the version from the module because of that weird modinfo failure and then uses an empty version string (notice the double space in the error message where the version should have been printed)

Haven't seen that one so far ...
Error! Module version for nvidia-current.ko.xz is not newer than what is already found in kernel 6.12.22-amd64 (535.216.03). You may override by specifying --force.
Does modinfo /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current/535.216.03/6.12.22-amd64/x86_64/module//nvidia-current.ko.xz return sensible output? What does dkms status -k 6.12.22-amd64 nvidia-current/535.216.03 report about the module? Does dkms install -k 6.12.22-amd64 nvidia-current/535.216.03 work if the module has already been built in an earlier dkms run? Maybe add --force Andreas
