</span>This change is not the cause of the regression. The package fails at<br>
initial installation, not on upgrade. I have added "set -x" and I get<br>
this:<br>
<br>
# dpkg --configure raspi3-firmware<br>
<span class="">Setting up raspi3-firmware (1.20171201-2) ...<br>

Errors were encountered while processing:<br>
raspi3-firmware<br>
<br>
I wonder how it worked before. Maybe the package shipped /boot/firmware or<br>
another package supplied that directory and it now fails because no<br>
package is creating it.<br>
<br>
In any case, you should probably not attempt to copy the files there if the<br>
directory is not existing.<br>
<br>
Something like this:<br>
