Package: vboot-kernel-utils
Version: 0~R106-15054.B-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: leon...@lausen.nl
Dear Maintainer,
the included /usr/share/vboot/bin/{get,set}_gbb_flags.sh scripts for
managing Chromebook GBB flags are dysfunctional as they rely on a
version of flashrom forked by the Chromium team that is incompatible
with the version of flashrom in Debian. Fortunately, upstream has
removed this dependency on non-standard flashrom as of February 2023
[1]. Can you please package a newer version, so that these scripts will
start working in Debian and simplify using Debian on Chromebooks?
Sample of the error with the currently packaged version:
% sudo /usr/share/vboot/bin/get_gbb_flags.sh
flashrom unknown on Linux 6.4.4-stb-cbq (aarch64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Error: Unknown programmer "host". Valid choices are:

ft2232_spi, serprog, buspirate_spi, dediprog, developerbox, pony_spi, nicintel,
nicintel_spi, nicintel_eeprom, ogp_spi, linux_mtd, linux_spi, usbblaster_spi,
pickit2_spi, ch341a_spi, digilent_spi, jlink_spi, stlinkv3_spi, dirtyjtag_spi.
Please run "flashrom --help" for usage info.
Thank you.
