Question

I am trying to install amdgpu-pro on debian 10 kernel 4.19.0-13, and I am getting the following error:

I get the same error when trying to install using the install files

I am not sure how to resolve the dpkg errors

I don't know what other information to add to this post so that stack overflow lets me post it, so maybe if I keep writing words it will accept it

The short answer seems to be it's not supported:

https://wiki.debian.org/AMDGPUDriverOnStretchAndBuster2

That page will give you instructions for patching the kernel (assuming you have 4.19) and porting over Ubuntu drivers, but as the page says:

This page documents non-recommended practices such as installing packages meant for other GNU/Linux distributions and manually patching files provided by packages.
