Prajnanaswaroopa,
What sources are you using to upgrade from?
e.g. what do you see for:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
I do not know what Kali Linux might use for non-free firmware.
Debian Bookworm can use something like:
deb
https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free
non-free-firmware contrib
deb-src
http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free
non-free-firmware contrib
deb
https://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main
contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src
http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security
main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# bookworm-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
# see
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backports
deb
https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib
non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src
https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib
non-free non-free-firmware
# bookworm-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
deb
https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib
non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src
https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib
non-free non-free-firmware

Hello,
I am using a Kali Linux 6.6.9 version. When I tried to update and
upgrade, the terminal shows that the header linux-header-6.8.11-amd64
cannot be installed. I tried several commands, but all seen to return
the same comment. In addition, the error the terminal shows is as
follows:
dpkg: error processing package linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64
(--configure):

linux-headers-amd64 depends on linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64
(= 6.8.11-1kali2); however:
Package linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64 is not configured yet.

From the errors, I feel the wifi driver `rtl8188fu` is the one that
creates trouble. But, it is the driver for the wifi adapter for my PC,
and deleting it would mean no internet for me. So, how should I
proceed. For information, I currently have linux-header `uname -a`
version as `6.6.9`. Rebooting will log me to the latest version `Kali
Linux 6.8.11`, but without wifi drivers in the `ifconfig`, and without
internet connection. For reference, here is first few lines of the
content of the /var/lib/dkms/rtl8188fu/1.0/build/make.log file:

For the full file, as it is very large, the link to open in Drive is (

So how do I rectify this to get it going?
