Public bug reported:
# Summary
`uhd_usrp_probe` tells me to download firmware files using
`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py`
however, the file is actually located at:
```
$ apt-file search uhd_images_downloader.py
uhd-host: /usr/lib/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py
```
# System
```
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: KDE neon User Edition 5.16
Release: 18.04
```
(also observed on stock Ubuntu)
```
$ apt-cache policy uhd-host
uhd-host:
Installed: 3.10.3.0-2
Candidate: 3.10.3.0-2
Version table:
*** 3.10.3.0-2 500

```
# Detailed Description
After installation, firmware images must be downloaded from the Ettus
servers. As far as I can see, there is no separate firmware package in
the repositories.
Here, we run `uhd_usrp_probe` to discover the USRP devices:
```
$ uhd_usrp_probe
linux; GNU C++ version 7.3.0; Boost_106501; UHD_003.010.003.000-0-unknown
UHD Warning:
EnvironmentError: IOError: Could not find path for image: usrp_b200_fw.hex
Using images directory: <no images directory located>
Set the environment variable 'UHD_IMAGES_DIR' appropriately or follow the
below instructions to download the images package.
Please run:
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py"
Error: LookupError: KeyError: No devices found for ----->
Empty Device Address
```
Initializing the device fails because of the missing firmware files. The
path for `uhd_images_downloader.py` is wrong and should point to
`/usr/lib/uhd/utils/uhd_images_downloader.py`
