b43 firmware update shows http request redirects 302 301

#1 Post by BitterTruth »

Just as a FYI, I thought I'd let you know that whilst doing an update today, apt showed a couple of http request redirects when trying to get the firmware files:

The following packages will be upgraded:
b43-fwcutter (1:019-8 => 1:019-14~mx23+1)
conky-toggle-mx (24.3.01 => 25.7.01)
firefox (140.0.4~mozillabinaries-1mx23+1 => 141.0~mozillabinaries-1mx23+1)
firmware-b43-installer (1:019-8 => 1:019-14~mx23+1)
firmware-b43legacy-installer (1:019-8 => 1:019-14~mx23+1)
mx-conky-data (20250701 => 20250703)

Code: Select all

those paritcular firmware files were always pulled from a third-party website. the website went down about a month ago. the package has recently been updated with a new web address. The update looks OK to me.

Thanks @dolphin_oracle. I thought as much. I'm not worried about it personally, but at least this post and your reply is here if anybody does panic.
