Just got stung again by this one, this time upgrading an ascii 64 bit rpi3 image to beowulf while using a 5.10 kernel provided by the rpi foundation.

This time I just unpacked the deb, commented out the "exit 1" and repacked the deb, then a bit of manual installation to get the dependencies updated.
