Bug#1084224: isenkram-cli: isenkram installs raspi-firmware on non-raspi i686 hardware leading to an error

[c2h5oh]

Good evening,

sorry for my badly behaving freemail service, I think that should be fixed now (for a while).

This looks promising, so I had a look at /usr/share/isenkram as you told me:

# grep -r BCM4324B5 /usr/share/isenkram/

# grep -r brcmfmac43241b5 /usr/share/isenkram/

So I tried to provide you with the output of isenkram-autoinstall-firmware.
Beside an 'unexpected operator' error in /usr/sbin/isenkram-autoinstall-firmware I found something different, but very interesting:
 
There is a difference when choosing LANG=C:
# LANG=C isenkram-autoinstall-firmware
it says: info: No new firmware package with requested firmware detected.

and without setting LANG (that means LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 in my case) there's raspi-firmware again.
See the complete output at: https://paste.debian.net/1331619

And there is another thing, I think I shoud mention:
I recently updated the system from bullseye to bookworm.

Thanks a lot
Christian
