When you do fetch the source package the output will look like: # apt-get source linux Reading package lists... Done NOTICE: 'linux' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux.git Please use: git clone https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux.git to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package. Need to get 124 MB of source archives. Get:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main linux 5.10.149-1 (dsc) [197 kB] Get:2 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main linux 5.10.149-1 (tar) [122 MB] Get:3 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main linux 5.10.149-1 (diff) [1549 kB] Fetched 124 MB in 1s (95.7 MB/s) dpkg-source: info: extracting linux in linux-5.10.149 dpkg-source: info: unpacking linux_5.10.149.orig.tar.xz dpkg-source: info: unpacking linux_5.10.149-1.debian.tar.xz dpkg-source: info: using patch list from debian/patches/series dpkg-source: info: applying debian/gitignore.patch dpkg-source: info: applying debian/dfsg/arch-powerpc-platforms-8xx-ucode-disable.patch [...] dpkg-source: info: applying bugfix/all/tools-perf-pmu-events-fix-reproducibility.patch dpkg-source: info: applying bugfix/all/bpftool-fix-version-string-in-recursive-builds.patch dpkg-source: info: applying debian/overlayfs-permit-mounts-in-userns.patch Now you have in the current working directory the linux-5.10.149 directory. Did you process went that far? If so change into that directory where the debian/ directory which will include the debian/bin/test-patches to test-apply the patches we would like to test. If that will not help I will try to respin a build so anyone affected can test Hope this helps already, Regards, Salvatore
