Package: b43-fwcutter Version: 1:019-7 X-Debbugs-CC: glaub...@physik.fu-berlin.de Tags: sid
I am working on an old PowerMac G5 running Debian Sid. I am trying to install firmware-b43-installer. It is having some trouble. I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm going to report it and then ask some questions over at the kernel's b43 mailing list (http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev). # apt-get install firmware-b43-installer Reading package lists...
