'non-free component' value from 'non-free' to 'non-free non-free-firmware'

[Stephen Walsh]

Just started getting this:

Reading package lists... Done
N: Repository 'Debian bookworm' changed its 'non-free component' value from 'non-free' to 'non-free non-free-firmware'
N: More information about this can be found online in the Release notes at: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/m68k/release-notes/ch-information.html#non-free-split


Going to the web page referenced results in a "Page not found" error...


My sources.list:

deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ sid main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

Hi Stephen,

replacing 'm68k' by one of the officially supported architectures (I
used 'amd64') will give a working URL. This does contain a workaround to
shut up the new warning:

"
If you were pointed to this chapter by apt you can prevent it from
continuously notifying you about this change by creating an apt.conf(5)
file named /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/no-bookworm-firmware.conf with the
following content:

APT::Get::Update::SourceListWarnings::NonFreeFirmware "false";
"

I suspect there has never been any firmware distributed for m68k in
non-free, so maybe the m68k port ought to set that apt config setting by
default in future releases ...

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks. That has cleared/removed the error.
