Bug#1041096: raspi-firmware: kernel removal can render raspi unbootable

[Archi]

Hello, today I've stumbled upon exactly the same issue, running Debian 
testing.



The config.txt was replaced with:

kernel=auto

initramfs


I had to manually fix it to:

kernel=vmlinuz-6.4.0-1-arm64

initramfs initrd.img-6.4.0-1-arm64


Please take a look into this issue, as I consider it a severe problem 
for everyone.


In my case, I just did apt dist-upgrade and apt autoremove --purge. New 
kernel (6.4.0-1 in my case) caused old one to be considered for 
autoremoval, after which rpi was rendered in unbootable state. I had to 
fix it manually editing config.txt. Executing update-initramfs -u 
manually once the system booted after manual fix rendered correct 
config.txt, so it has something to do with removal procedure that at the 
same time does not regenerate initramfs (since there is no need to do so 
since we only remove old kernel and related files).


Regards,

Archi

Bug#825732: certbot: Wrong cron execution

[Archi]

Package: certbot
Version: 0.6.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

After default install of certbot package, there is /etc/cron.d/certbot created 
with default setting of * */12 * * *.
As upstream suggests, renew should be done twice per day, instead, according to 
above cron, it's executed every minute of 12 and 0 hour.
Instead, it should execute at 0:00 and 12:00, this way already included random 
will ensure that it's run twice - between 0:00-1:00 and 12:00-13:00.
Patch is included in changed configuration files. Thank you.
