Strugling with installation

Yes we are
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
just to be sure.

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

Not my mess, luckily, but i hate dealing with it as it's been dragging for over a year now, all because someone did not clean the build environment before building the ISO.

Can you explain to me exactly what the problem is? I have not been able to keep up with the forum for quite some time. 

I was aware that there was an issue of some sort, but though that it was in upstream Debian? 

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.

Debian BookWorm 12.0 and 12.1 had this issue where it would complain about missing raspi firmware, 12.2 and 12.5 did not have this issue, i did test and build the ISO and no issues were present, so the only point where the issue would transfer to new ISO is not cleaning the build environment before building the new ISO.
Although he keeps insisting Debian pulls the new installer while building the ISO, i know for sure Linux Mint does not pull anything, and neither did Debian when i built the 12.2 and 12.5 ISO.
IIRC 2.92 or 2.93 ISO did not have this issue, but it cam back, so that remains a mystery to me, maybe build was done on another PC and later went back to "old" PC ...

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.
