TSM for this advice.
As I'm not used to having to "take great care" like this, I would
appreciate confirmation that what I've done is likely to be useful.
I've dropped a file into /etc/apt/preferences.d/ containing
the following text.
Package: linux-image-amd64
Pin: version 6.1.55-1
Pin-Priority: 1100
As I noticed that an upgrade to 6.1.64-1 was also in line for
linux-libc-dev, I did the same for this package too.
As a result, apt-cache policy is telling me
linux-image-amd64:
Installed: 6.1.55-1
Candidate: 6.1.55-1
Version table:
6.1.64-1 500

Thanks in anticipation of a simple yes or no.
