First time that I don't see any error. Are we out of the woods now?

 

Tommy, thank you very very much for your help. Without it, I wouldn't be able to do anything. I hope all of this will help somebody else.

Thanks again,
Milos

Yeah Rod reckons it's a Debian issue.

Rods take on it
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...amd64-version#332160

Every time a user is hit by the issue they start a new thread, I've tried to start a sticky, but as usual search doesn't get used, so it's a page or 2 walking a user through it.

But yeah it does appear to be frustrating. Maybe it requires pulling apart the squashfs file that the installer uses and manipulating that. I dunno just talking to myself.

The installer is definitely installing the raspi-firmware. Did an install in VirtualBox, before running apt anything I ran find looking for anything raspi related and it was there.
Just running apt purge was enough to get rid of it, no need to manually delete any files.
Having a poke around the build config raspi-firmware is not supposed to be installed, but for some reason it's not being respected.
I would say that the post I linked by Rod is not what is actually happening.
