Hello,
update-intel-microcode gets the last mentioned microcode instead of the
lastest one, as the RSS feed currently mentions two firmware files and
sed failing to use non-greedy patterns.
The attached patch uses perl to parse the wget output, there's no need
to add perl-base to microcode.ctl's dependencies, as it depends on
debconf which depends on perl.
Ok, your patch works (and it fixes also the 201x problem).
About perl-base: no. When a program uses an other package e.g. perl, it must
declare it as dependency. I see it as documentation, but it is also more
robust in case of change on the dependency package (note: there exists a
cdebconf (in C), and maybe someone will write it in an other language).
Anyway in this case (perl-base) it is not needed because perl-base is
"Essential: yes", and your simple script doesn't need a particular
version of perl-base.
In next days I'll upload your fix, along some other fixes,
thanks for the patch.
ciao
