update-linbofs writes modules to linbo that are no longer declared in /etc/linuxmuster/linbo/firmware

[lemertens]

Any module/directory that was at one time included in linbofs by listing it in /etc/linuxmuster/linbo/firmware and running update-linbofs will forever stay in linbofs even if it is removed from /etc/linuxmuster/linbo/firmware and update-linbofs is run again.
It seems that update-linbofs does not clean out /var/cache/linuxmuster/linbo/firmware/ before filling it according to the entries in /etc/linuxmuster/linbo/firmware, so the configuration file works additive instead of reflecting the actual state of linbofs' /lib directory.
If that was intended behaviour this is of course no bug, but it does seem unintuitive.

Thank you for the feedback. Linbo caches firmware files in /var /cache/linuxmuster/linbo/firmware. As a workaround you can delete this folder and rerun update-linbofs. Please use ask.linuxmuster.net to get support.
