Package: installation-reports
Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
The current debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso is broken: It does detect
missing firmware, but does not place this information in the correct
folder /run/udev/fimrware-missing. This directory does not exist, when
check-missing-firmware tries to load the missing firmware and thus
check-missing-firmware does not look for any.
The last debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso that I downloaded at
24.08.2013 worked just fine, as well as the
debian-7.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso. I am reporting this bug from an
installation done with the working testing netinstall ISO.
The relevant parts of syslog are:

This is a very serious bug, because it prevents a (reasonable)
netinstallation using WLAN, since most WLAN devices use non-free firmware.
Please fix this as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Andreas
