Bug Description
The latest version of linux-firmware-
On my own system, I did: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-firmware-
As this package installs required firmware for many ubiquitous Broadcom wireless devices, it is important that this bug be corrected soon.
And I very seriously believe that it is the "/DEBIAN/control" file within the .deb package that is causing the trouble.
Line #15 in it seems to be an accidental copy-paste, confusing dpkg (a super long Modalias line). Needs to be fixed (deleted) immediately before plenty of more "The update broke my system" threads pop up, as if all those brand new Ethernet troubles were not enough.
