Bug#1055901: Acknowledgement (raspi-firmware: postinst fails, makes bad assumption about existence of /boot/firmware/)

[Thorsten Glaser]

Hi,

this applies only to Raspian, not to Debian; in Debian, older releases
used /boot/firmware as well. I suggest to go ask the Raspian people to
fix what they broke.

Mixing packages from other distributions (here Raspian) with Debian
packages is not generally supported.

Bug#1055901: Acknowledgement (raspi-firmware: postinst fails, makes bad assumption about existence of /boot/firmware/)

I got this issue while upgrading from bullseye to bookworm

I opened this PR
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/raspi-firmware/-/merge_requests/33 on
salsa. It might do the job. I just tested the small if I added, I'd be
glad if someone is able to make test in condition of this.

Regards,

Fabrice
