Applying your patch, and enabling salsa-CI/branch2repo gives this:

  
https://salsa.debian.org/philh/pcmciautils/-/commit/b3d9a17f90201ca39e0e5374f79a59c0fd74b98c

which launches this pipeline:

  https://salsa.debian.org/philh/pcmciautils/-/pipelines/262209

resulting in this mini-iso:

  
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/jobs/1704435/artifacts/file/public/gtk-mini.iso

which is able to load the pcmciautils udeb from here:

  
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/branch2repo/-/jobs/1704433/artifacts/browse/public/

which when tested under openQA ends up showing us that it now includes
the right path:

  https://openqa.debian.net/tests/7562#step/complete_install/38

while the same check against the daily builds does not:

  https://openqa.debian.net/tests/7576#step/complete_install/38

(you're looking for the "Result: ..." bit in the middle of the screen,
which shows the output from running `ls -ld /etc/pcm*`)

HTH

Cheers, Phil.

I have verified that on a current testing installation system, there is
still /etc/pcmciautils/ existing, and no /etc/pcmcia/.

So re-assigning to pcmciautils package.

Also, I attached a patch, which should hopefully fix this for the udeb.


Thanks
Holger
