[Bug 1983409] Re: Please merge amd64-microcode 3.20220411.1 (main) from Debian unstable (non-free)

[Mark Esler]

The current version of linux-firmware (20220819.git8413c63c-0ubuntu1)
contains a Breaks line with: `amd64-microcode (<= 3.20220411.1ubuntu1)`.

The linux-firmware patch proposed in comment 16 contains a Breaks line
with: `amd64-microcode (<< 3.20220411.1~)`.

The patch in comment 16 works.


Using the Breaks line `amd64-microcode (<< 3.20220411.1~)` in the current version of linux-firmware (20220819.git8413c63c-0ubuntu1) I was able to install both linux-firmware and amd64-microcode in a fresh kinetic VM with:

sudo apt install linux-firmware
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt install linux-firmware
