Please to know the "/tmp/SECUPD" problem will be solved. At least one of my 
servers will be up to date.

But what about Debian / Ubuntu administrators for whose the only solution for 
verify firmwares update is to stop the servers and boot to Lifecycle for 
verifying and eventually upgrade theses firmwares.
No way to plan an informed update.

In France, for educational and most of research centers  we have no choice, we 
must buy Dell servers. We love it. But a lot of sysadmins in our community use 
Debian or Ubuntu for main OS (for example to use HA clusters with Proxmox).

Not only DLR is deprecated but translate rpm packages to Debian packages with 
alien don't permit to translate those with a version number starting with a 
letter (don't ask me why) so those drivers packages are never seen by 
update_firmware utility.
And for the new servers we bought, it's no more possible to install DLR fully 
successful (missing packages).

Please Dell devs, do your possible to port DSU to Debian / Ubuntu users as soon 
as possible.

Thanks.

Best regards.
