Okay, so I just did an upgrade of my daedalus system. Then I enabled non-free
and contrib in my sources.list, and tried installing these packages, both as
is and with * appended (in order to catch any packages that might replace
these), but I keep getting pretty much this same error message:
######
Package firmware-amd-graphics is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Unable to locate package amd64-microcode
E: Package 'firmware-amd-graphics' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package firmware-iwlwifi
######
I also tried just to upgrade with non-free and contrib enabled, and the only
package offered for upgrade is fonts-ubuntu.
Can't say yet whether my system runs any better now, or at least more
glitch-free, after this upgrade. That will probably have to wait for at least
another reboot.
I am about to search firmware in general, just to see if anything similar get
caught up in my trawling blindly for likely packages. I know that they all
look rather familiar, but they seem to have been made unavailable to me,
specifically, and I take it very personally.
;-)
Thanks for your patience. This is strange new adventure in system upgrade.
Bill
