Should be fixed in 2.9.2 download but this will fix it.#
sudo rm /etc/{initramfs/post-update.d/,kernel/{postinst.d/,postrm.d/}}z50-raspi-firmware#
sudo apt purge raspi-firmware

Its something we inherited from Debian so its annoying as it is nothing to do with our installer.

Thanks Rod !

I can confirm that downloading 2.9.2 iso today and running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade gives the raspi-firmware error.

And I can confirm that your suggestion above *almost* fixes it

There is a typo, trailing # on the sudo rm /etc... line.

With the trailing # removed and fresh update and upgrade all is well.

Today's install is to play with EtherCAT on some Beckhoff and Leadshine modules.

It is not fixed as stated on the post above.
Deferring blame is not fixing it, it is Debian, so it is our installer.
Clean the build environment before building a new ISO version, this is dragging on from Debian 12 or 12.1

Hi tommylight,

Agreed 100%, having to delete arm stuff that Debian 12 installs on a brand new x86 install stuff isn't fixing... can we agree to call it a workaround?

But in all things Unix (and true since I installed the PC/IX 19 floppy disks of System III around 1984) stuff goes wrong and a quick workaround helps.

Many noticed this Debian issue since July 2023:

forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=155216

where I found this somewhat safer (no I did not try it) workaround:

sudo dpkg -P raspi-firmware
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It appears that Debian 12 has been updated, fixing this, so would a fix (not workaround) be to re-build our LinuxCNC iso from a slightly newer Debian 12 release?

I'd like to be able to do this but am literally tied up in many meters of shielded servo encoder cables at the moment :)

Yes we can.
The thing is, new users download/burn/install from that ISO then go to update or add/install something and bump into that error, so normally they search for the last line in the error report and waste a lot of time getting nowhere, especially since searching for "exited with -1" will bring back thousands of unrelated results, etc etc so by the time they are able to fix this and move on, 2 or more days have passed by and frustration has skyrocketed to outer space...

Yes, that would fix it.

Thank you.
Trying to find out how to know what minor version of Debian is in use, given the huge user base Debian has, it is strange i can not find anything about it on the net, or google reverted back to being useless again.
