Summary | 0007720: [Kali Live Latest] - raspi-firmware is installed but I'm not on Raspberry Pi | ||||
Description | Hi ! Errors were encountered while processing: Is this a normal behavior of Kali to have Raspi's firmware updater pre-installed ? Kali Live should not interact with the system, or upgrading the Pi's firmware is interacting with the system. I think this shouldn't be there, is this a mistake ? | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Install Kali Live 2022.2 on a USB stick, then upgrade all the packages. | ||||
What machine are you running this on? You are correct that raspi-firmware should only be used on a raspberrypi, but we don't use it in kali at all, it's a package from Debian that is in the repositories. I don't see it in the meta packages so I'm not sure why it is installed there. Which live usb are you using? It's probably erroring out because it can't copy the firmware into /boot/firmware - a workaround would be to create that directory temporarily. |
|
That's Kali Live 2022.2, freshly installed on a 64bit laptop on a USB stick. IDK what metapackages were installed (i don't have the USB key anymore, btw) but that's the main/general release. I just did "sudo apt update" then "sudo apt upgrade", then it showed this error. |
|
I've checked the live image and an installed kali I can confirm that raspi-firmware comes preinstalled. I guess it's added by the debian-installer package, as we don't add it in any metapackage |
|
Heya. Seems weird, but that's a change from Debian, so there might be a good reason. |
|
Just a quick follow up, you don't need the package, so you can purge it from your system with It was added as "arch: all" as it's just firmware data and there is no need to have 3 separate packages that are bit-identical. |
