[BUG] regex in kernelpkg latest_available() fails on Debian Bullseye / Ubuntu Noble #68204
Description
Description
The kernelpkg.latest_available function throws an error on Ubuntu 24.04 / Debian 11
(same as original issue here , looks like there was never an actual resolution)
Attempting to execute it returns:
The minion function caused an exception: Traceback (most recent call last):

return f"{version.group(1)}-{version.group(2)}-{_kernel_type()}"
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
Steps to Reproduce the behavior
# salt myubuntu24host kernelpkg.latest_available
Expected behavior
Should return a string and not an error :)
I logged the result variable from here and got the following result paired with the osfinger:
5.15.0.144.141 (Ubuntu-22.04)
6.8.0-64.67 (Ubuntu-24.04)
6.1.140-1-amd64 (Debian-11)
Simply adding a hyphen into the regex via a class seems to have 'fixed' the issue
