Package: release.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:b43-fwcutter User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock X-Debbugs-Cc: gibmat@debian.org Severity: normal Pre-approval request to unblock package b43-fwcutter [ Reason ] At some point, the site hosting b43 firmware referenced by this package went offline. This causes the install of firmware-b43-installer to fail, as reported in bug #1109025. A copy of the firmware exists in a GitHub repo, and a single line change restores the package's functionality. [ Impact ] Users are unable to automatically fetch the necessary b43 firmware for their wireless network cards. [ Tests ] I verified installing the updated package in a clean trixie container worked and was able to properly fetch and extract the firmware. [ Risks ] Singe line change in postinst script to adjust download URL. There is a lingering issue about the redistributabilty of the firmware by the remote end, but that issue pre-dates this package's postinst breakage. [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] debdiff included below unblock b43-fwcutter/1:019-14 ----- diff -Nru b43-fwcutter-019/debian/changelog b43-fwcutter-019/debian/changelog --- b43-fwcutter-019/debian/changelog 2024-11-30 22:44:53.000000000 +0000 +++ b43-fwcutter-019/debian/changelog 2025-07-14 05:52:41.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +b43-fwcutter (1:019-14) unstable; urgency=medium + + * QA upload. + * Update remote site where firmware can be fetched (Closes: #1109025) + + -- Mathias Gibbens <gibmat@debian.org> Mon, 14 Jul 2025 05:52:41 +0000 + b43-fwcutter (1:019-13) unstable; urgency=medium * QA upload. diff -Nru b43-fwcutter-019/debian/firmware-b43-installer.postinst b43-fwcutter-019/debian/firmware-b43-installer.postinst --- b43-fwcutter-019/debian/firmware-b43-installer.postinst 2024-11-30 22:44:53.000000000 +0000 +++ b43-fwcutter-019/debian/firmware-b43-installer.postinst 2025-07-14 05:43:51.000000000 +0000 @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ DOWNLOAD="${BROADCOM_WL}.tar.bz2" -URL="https://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/${DOWNLOAD}" +URL="https://github.com/minios-linux/b43-firmware/releases/download/b43-firmware/${DOWNLOAD}" FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/usr/lib/firmware"Attachment: signature.asc
