Package: firmware-linux-free Version: 20200122-1 Hi,
now that "iw" dropped the dependency on "crda" (see https://bugs.debian.org/972994), "wireless-regdb" gets uninstalled, too, as it was only pulled in via dependency by crda, at least on some of my machines. But according to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/crda.git/commit/?id=f4ef2531698fb9ba006e8b31a223b3269be8bc7c now the kernel itself seems to load wireless-regdb's /lib/firmware/regulatory.db* files. So I wonder if there should be a soft dependency from either firmware-linux-free (feels like the proper place) or maybe the kernel images itself instead, since this seems to be the kernel which will be actually looking for that file. The latter looks like the right place when pendanticly interpreting the Debian Policy with regards to package relations. P.S.: No idea about the severity, could be anything from RC due to being (IMHO pedantic) policy violation due to missing package relation, down to "minor" (nobody cared about that relation to the kernel since kernel 4.15, so it can't be that severe and it's clearly only needed only by devices which use WiFi and there not even for functioning, just for avoiding local legal issues and maybe local technical issues), therefore leaving it at the default. Feel free to adjust and/or reassign. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (110, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.7.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled firmware-linux-free depends on no packages. firmware-linux-free recommends no packages.
