Package: isenkram
Version: 0.48
Hi! As far as I know, my Lenovo X201 does not have any realtek-related
hardware in it, but isenkram-autoinstall-firmware still installs the
'firmware-realtek' for me. Is it because of the iwl-debug-yoyo.bin
(which sounds like a firmware-iwlwifi thing)? This seems like a bug?

case, the kernel driver ask for a firmware file missing on disk,
isenkram-autoinstall-firmware discover this request and uses either
appstream information or package file lists (similar to apt-file) to
locate which package contain the requested file. In other words,
isenkram do not know much about the driver, file nor packages, but
depend on other sources for this information.
If the kernel driver should not need the firmware file in question, it
should stop requesting it. Then isenkram will not try to track it down
to install it.
Not sure which package to send this issue to. Any suggestions?

If so, I believe it is a bug somewhere else than isenkram. In this

I had a look at the isenkram source and as far as I can tell the
iwl-debug-yoyo.bin file is not provided by any package:
% grep iwl-debug-yoyo.bin generated/*
%
As far as I can tell from the list of files requested by the kernel
drivers of your machine, these are the files causing the
firmware-realtek package to be installed:
rtl_bt/rtl8723a_fw.bin rtl_bt/rtl8723b_fw.bin rtl_bt/rtl8723bs_fw.bin
rtl_bt/rtl8761a_fw.bin rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin
rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin rtl_bt/rtl8822b_config.bin
rtl_bt/rtl8822b_fw.bin
As far as I can tell, this is correct. Did I misunderstand something?
rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin rtl_bt/rtl8822b_config.bin
rtl_bt/rtl8822b_fw.bin
