Description:
The linux-api-headers package is wildly out of date (v 5.12 while the kernel package is currently v5.15). This breaks compilation against the headers included in the libbpf package, as that relies on up-to-date kernel headers.

Not a linux api headers problem, but a libbpf bug:
https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/436

libbpf 0.6 headers require linux api headers 5.17.

Please update the api-header package to the current lts version of linux 6.1

This will make the use of more recent kernel features like landlock a lot easier.

Thank you
