Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 20221214-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: onitake@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
With the recent upgrade to version 20230210 (or 20230117 on testing), the
package has vanished from the apt cache of two of my bookworm/sid
installations.
apt policy reports that firmware-linux-nonfree is stuck at version 20221214-3
on my systems, with the only available version being the one that is locally
installed. According to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/firmware-nonfree
everything seems to be fine, but I simply don't see any available upgrades.
Opening https://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/firmware-nonfree reports:
"Package not available in this suite."
Were these packages renamed, or what exactly is going on here?

It is in bookworm, but you have to apply a change to your sources, due
to
https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#non-free-split
. There was a General resolution last year about firmware, leading to
firmware be put into a separate component non-free-firmware.
Regards,
Salvatore
