Hi Nicolas, thank you for taking the time to open this bug report.

After going through all the logs provided, it appears that this is being caused by one of the out-of-tree kernel modules that you have installed.

When the kernel headers are being installed, one of the last steps is to rebuild all of the dkms modules that are installed, and this is what is failing.

In the DpkgTerminalLog.txt file, towards the end is this:

-----------------------------------------
Building module:
Cleaning build area...
make -j4 KERNELRELEASE=6.8.0-40-generic...(bad exit status: 2)
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for applespi: 0.1 not found

...fail!

error processing package linux-headers-6.8.0-40-generic (--configure):
installed linux-headers-6.8.0-40-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 11
-----------------------------------------

Perhaps one of the dkms packages doesn't support the newer kernel. If you remove the dkms modules from the system, and then install the headers you should not hit this issue.

If you still hit this issue with all the out of tree dkms packages removed, please re-open this ticket and upload the logs again, and I will take another look.
