Package: microcode.ctl Version: 1.13-2 Severity: normal If the install script fails to download the firmware correctly, but leaves a file which won't unpack, then the next time you try to install the package the bad download should be deleted. At the moment, the firmware is redownloaded with a suffix ".1" so that it is once again the faulty file that is unpacked (and doesn't work). A third attempt produces a file ending in .2 and so on, and the install will not do anything but slowly fill up your disk!
