Public bug reported: Title: linux-firmware-amd-misc upgrade leaves unowned amdtee firmware files and causes dpkg warning
I encountered the following warning during a normal package upgrade on Linux Mint based on Ubuntu 24.04 Noble: dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory '/lib/firmware/amdtee': Directory not empty The upgrade itself completed successfully and I have not observed any functional problems. After the upgrade, I inspected /lib/firmware/amdtee and found both older uncompressed .bin files and newer compressed .bin.zst files. Current contents include: 773bd96f-b83f-4d52-b12dc529b13d8543.bin 773bd96f-b83f-4d52-b12dc529b13d8543.bin.zst f29bb3d9-bd66-5441-afb88acc2b2b60d6.bin f29bb3d9-bd66-5441-afb88acc2b2b60d6.bin.zst amd_pmf_v3.bin amd_pmf_v3.bin.zst amd_pmf_v3_1.bin amd_pmf_v3_1.bin.zst Running: dpkg -S /lib/firmware/amdtee/* shows that the .bin.zst files and symlinks are owned by linux-firmware- amd-misc, while the corresponding uncompressed .bin files and symlinks appear to be unowned. Relevant installed package versions: linux-firmware: 20240318.git3b128b60.0ubuntu3.1 linux-firmware-amd-misc: 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu3.1 linux-firmware-amd-graphics: 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu3.2 All three packages are being installed directly from: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/main This appears to be residue from the transition or split of AMD firmware files from linux-firmware into linux-firmware-amd-misc, where older uncompressed files remain in /lib/firmware/amdtee and prevent dpkg from removing the old directory cleanly. I have intentionally left the directory unchanged in case maintainers need additional information about the post-upgrade state. I initially attempted to report this using: ubuntu-bug linux-firmware but Apport refused the report with: "This does not seem to be an official Linux package." The packages are, however, installed directly from the Ubuntu Noble Updates repository; the host system is Linux Mint, which may be why Apport rejected the report. Expected behavior: The package upgrade/migration should either safely remove obsolete firmware files or otherwise complete without the "Directory not empty" warning. ** Affects: linux-firmware-amd-misc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2166519 Title: Title: linux-firmware-amd-misc upgrade leaves unowned amdtee firmware files and causes dpkg warning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware-amd-misc/+bug/2166519/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
