   linux-image-6.8.0-1043-raspi    6.8.0-1043.47
   linux-image-6.8.0-2034-raspi-realtime  6.8.0-2034.35

   linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp       6.8.0.1020.21

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
