Package: firmware-b43-installer Version: 1:019-13 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 4.9 Dear Maintainer, When attempting to install the package `firmware-b43-installer` on Debian 13 "Trixie" (testing), the installation fails due to a checksum mismatch of the downloaded Broadcom firmware: broadcom-wl-6.30.163.46.tar.bz2: checksum mismatch sha512sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match firmware-b43-installer.postinst: Downloaded firmware did not match known SHA512 checksum, aborting. dpkg: error processing package firmware-b43-installer (--configure) This happens because the URL used to fetch the firmware redirects to a suspended hosting page (`cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi`), meaning the downloaded content is not valid, resulting in a broken installation. Steps to reproduce (on Debian Trixie): 1. `sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer` 2. Observe download and checksum failure. 3. Package fails to configure; Wi-Fi support is broken. Expected result: - The installer should download a valid firmware file or handle the missing source gracefully. - Systems relying on Broadcom Wi-Fi should not be left without a working driver. This violates Debian Policy §4.9: maintainer scripts should be robust and not fail in this way. Thank you for your work maintaining Debian packages.
