[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Bug#887062: raspi3-firmware: postinst fails, makes bad assumption about existence of /boot/firmware/

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Package: raspi3-firmware
Version: 1.20171201-2
Severity: serious
User: devel at kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

My dailay builds of Kali armhf live images are now failing with this version of
raspi3-firmware with this error:

Setting up raspi3-firmware (1.20171201-2) ...
cp: cannot create regular file '/boot/firmware/bootcode.bin': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package raspi3-firmware (--configure):

I did not check the code but it looks like it assumes that /boot/firmware/ does exist
while it doesn't (at least not in the context of the chroot where the live
image is being built).

This was working fine a few days ago with the previous version that was in testing
(1.20171006-1, Kali is based on Debian Testing).

Cheers,
