Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: bookworm User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu X-Debbugs-Cc: gibmat@debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:b43-fwcutter [ Reason ] firmware-b43-installer fails to install in bookworm due to a brokenupstream URL. [ Impact ] Users running the current stable Debian release cannot properly install the firmware required for their wireless NIC. [ Tests ] I have verified the package correctly fetches the firmware when using the updated URL. [ Risks ] Minor/none -- single line change to update download URL. [ Checklist ] [*] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [*] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [*] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] Cherry-pick relevant fix from unstable commit 5a328aadbd836a27ea3c320645fede7f1d272905. [ Other info ] The source debdiff is attached.
