This is a bit crazy. It can't be a "fresh install" if you have the
amd64 kernel trying to configure the closed firmware for a raspberry
pi. Why is "raspi-firmware" installed? What's your actual computer and
how did you install debian?

Installed Debian from Debian 12.0 disk.
Thanks

I had EXACTLY this when I installed Bookworm 12 live when it first came 
out. Dumped "raspi-firmware" and purged. All started to finish their 
upgrade while dpkg was running. All ok since.

Thanks to all.  Followed the instructions on the Debian forums link and all is 
well now.  Appreciate the help.
The computer is a Dell Optiplex 7020 that I got when its previous owner, my 
employer, decided it was junk and tossed it.

If you don't run Debian on raspberry Pi, remove it.

It *was* an issue for 12.0, discovered almost immediately _after_ the
release :(

It was fixed very quickly in the release process - the workarounds given 
fix it very quickly if you happen to be unfortunate.

There are good reasons why I recommend people to use the standard Debian
installer and _not_ the debian-live images and also why I recommend people
to bring their computer up to date with the latest software before raising
issues.

/me reminds people that the latest versions of supported software are 11.8
and 12.2 as of last Saturday.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy

As Махно pointed out in another reply [1], this does really seem to be
the case. If you follow the thread they linked to it occurs when
installing from the 12.0 live image and there are claims it's fixed in
12.1.

Hi, it seems unusual to have the raspi-firmware package installed on a
Dell desktop
computer (that you mentioned in the Subject), is there a reason for doing that?

Hi:
Fresh install Debian 12.  All seems well.  However, when I install a new 
package, in this case fvwm, the package installs fine, but there is an error at 
the end...

So far all the packages I have installed have worked fine...

Should I ignore this or do something?
