Linux kernel can't get built because of xtrx-dkms

[Zorono]

Hello everyone,
please i am trying to upgrade my Linux Kernel to 6.10.9 but it keeps on failing due to error when building xtrx-dkms...

Setting up xtrx-dkms (0.0.1+git20190320.5ae3a3e-4~kali1) ...
Removing old xtrx-0.0.1+git20190320.5ae3a3e-4~kali1 DKMS files...
Module xtrx-0.0.1+git20190320.5ae3a3e-4~kali1 for kernel 5.15.44-Re4son-v8l+ (aarch64).
Before uninstall, this module version was ACTIVE on this kernel.

xtrx.ko:
 - Uninstallation
   - Deleting from: /lib/modules/5.15.44-Re4son-v8l+/updates/dkms/
 - Original module
   - No original module was found for this module on this kernel.
   - Use the dkms install command to reinstall any previous module version.

Do you really need this module?
I just removed it and did not miss it, yet.
