Did you install raspi-firmware manually? It should not be pulled anymore as dependency 🤔. Does this lead to any other removal?

apt autopurge raspi-firmware

OK 👍 ... check now ...

Background: raspi-firmware is part of the new RPi kernel/firmware package stack, which requires a different boot partition mount and is hence incompatible with our (old) RPi images. Unintentionally, rpi-eeprom did pull it as dependency at first, but that was lifted. Hence I am wondering why this package was installed on your system in the first place.
