Package: firmware-misc-nonfree Version: 1:20240709-2~bpo12+1+rpt2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: peter.kutak@gmail.com Dear Maintainer, After apt upgrade ralink firmware disapears. I have installed firmware-ralink, this virtual package points to firmware-misc-nonfree. But after backporting split of firmware-misc-nonfree, ralink firmware are now in firmware-mediatek which was not automaticaly installed in time of apt upgrade. In time of apt install it will insatall recommanded subpackages automatically. I thik that firmware-ralink should now points to firmware-mediatek or somehow automatically install recomanded packages in time of apt upgrade. Now I see that my version is from rpi repository, so i am not sure about this report.

firmware-ralink was a transitional package in Debian 10 "buster", and is
intentionally not present in later releases.

As part of that split firmware-misc-nonfree does recommend firmware-
mediatek and the other new packages. I created a Debian 12 "bookworm"
container with bookworm-backports sources, and verified that running
"apt install -u firmware-misc-nonfree/bookworm-backports" does install
firmware-mediatek as well.
Your bug report also included:

which makes me think your system is not actually configured to isntall
recommended packages by default. What does this command print:
apt-config dump | grep Install-Recommends
?

I compared the source package from Raspberry Pi OS to ours, and there
isn't an obvious difference that would explain this. But in general you
should be reporting any bugs in their packages to them first, not to
Debian.
