Public bug reported:
Hi there
In the latest release of u-boot-tools both commands "fw_printenv" and
"fw_setenv" was removed from package.
Changelog for 2020.10+dfsg-1ubuntu0~18.04.2 package contain following
line:
" - Remove fw_printenv and fw_setenv and Recommend libubootenv-tool.
(Closes: #939598)
"
Bug number 939598 is referencing to the Debian bugzilla
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=939598)
As I can see, fw_setenv and fw_printenv was removed from Debian package
due to conflict with same binaries in package libubootenv-tool. However,
this package is available only in Ubuntu 20 but not in Ubuntu 18.
There is no alternative package containing this files:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=fw_setenv&mode=exactfilename&suite
=bionic-updates&arch=any
More to say, "file-not-found" command is referencing to "u-boot-tools"
command:
```
# apt install u-boot-tools

u-boot-tools is already the newest version (2020.10+dfsg-1ubuntu0~18.04.2).

# fw_printenv
Command 'fw_printenv' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install u-boot-tools
```
Please provide alternative package for Ubuntu 18.04 (e.g libubootenv-
tool) because this is breaking change
