Hi,

building firmware-free fails to build from source...
---snip---
[...]
make[3]: Entering directory '/build/firmware-free-20241210/cis'
pack_cis -o 3CCFEM556.cis src/3CCFEM556.cis
make[3]: pack_cis: No such file or directory
[...]
---snap---

...because pack_cis is in /usr/sbin which is not in the default path.

Please consider either moving pack_cis in cis-tools to /usr/bin, or,
calling pack_cis in firmware-free with full path (patch attached).

Regards,
Daniel

Control: severity -1 normal
Control: reassign -1 cis-tools 0.1-1
Control: retitle -1 pack_cis should be installed in /usr/bin

It works in pbuilder and sbuild, which is the important thing.

Yes that is rather silly.  I copied the installation paths from
pcmcia-cs into cis-tools, but that doesn't make much sense now.

I made that change upstream in cis-tools 0.2 and will upload that to
Debian shortly.
