General Questions • [Solved] aptitude refuses second effort to reinstall linux image

$

I was trying to upgrade on a USB stick that has limited free space and the first effort proceeded until the 'out of space' message showed up:
The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
linux-image-amd64
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
linux-image-6.1.0-20-amd64
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,480 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Get: 1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security/main amd64 linux-image-amd64 amd64 6.1.85-1 [1,480 B]
Fetched 1,480 B in 0s (13.8 kB/s)
(Reading database ... 162693 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../linux-image-amd64_6.1.85-1_amd64.deb ...
...
to 'out of space' message and eventual abort.

So I deleted some stuff and tried again but note what goes wrong:
The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
linux-image-amd64
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
linux-image-6.1.0-20-amd64
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-image-amd64:amd64 <<< strange name!
... it looks like somehow ':amd64' gets appended to the name of the image file! Can this be right? I'm tempted to just download and install the ...deb manually but if there's a more orthodox solution I'll take it.
