Tried everything and I just can't get it to play ball

More investigation. I think it's to do with the availability of linux headers

uname -r
6.16.7-061607-generic

Which means that gasket-driver is looking for linux-headers-6.16.7-061607-generic but the latest version is linux-headers-6.8.0-79-generic

dpkg-query -s linux-headers-generic
Package: linux-headers-generic

 This package will always depend on the latest generic kernel headers
 available.
