Do I have to *(re)*install missing modules and if so how can I get their list ; or this is not at all the solution so then can you provide a procedure ?
OP states using the nouveau driver and not the nvidia driver. But it appears there's an old nvidia DKMS package from around 2020-04-26 still around, which is not compatible with the newer kernels and makes their installation fail because its build fails.
For such case:
should fix the problem. If the package is actually not present anymore but DKMS still handles some remnants of it, then with the help of:
one should be able to remove nvidia entries still managed by DKMS using
dkms removeetc.Should this non-free driver be actually needed, then the
non-free(plus possiblycontrib) repository should be added to the Debian sources list if not present and this package upgraded to bookworm's version (as of today 525.105.17). More information at Debian's wiki for Nvidia Graphics Drivers.
