If it's a self built kernel the hash won't match. Rebuild including the kmods you need. Or use a release build from the start.

Also 19.07.2 is the latest release.

You could try (at your own risk) to install it with "--force-depends", which "Install/remove despite failed dependencies".

Thanks, I went back and rebuilt the image with the kmod-usb-storage, I guess its a bit more picky about kernel mode drivers that application layer packages!!
