Hello Friends

Was installed Debian 12 in a HP laptop.

The original /etc/apt/sources.list file was:

Code:

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20241109-11:05]/ bookworm contrib main non-free-firmwaredeb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmwaredeb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmwaredeb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmwaredeb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware# bookworm-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;# see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backportsdeb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmwaredeb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
Was mandatory later comment the following line:

Code:

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20241109-11:05]/ bookworm contrib main non-free-firmware[
It to avoid a failure when the apt update command is executed and does not find the CD/DVD mounted.

About this same file and due the following experience at:

* [Software] How to install firmware-b43-installer in Debian 12?

Was mandatory edit the file

From

Code:

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20241109-11:05]/ bookworm contrib main non-free-firmwaredeb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmwaredeb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware...
To:

Code:

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20241109-11:05]/ bookworm contrib main non-free-firmwaredeb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm contrib main non-free-firmwaredeb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm contrib main non-free-firmware...
Observe the addition of contrib.

Now, if you see carefully the first and second line, they have in common the bookworm contrib main non-free-firmware part.

Therefore why from the beginning or by default the contrib component was not included in the bookworm distribution?

Thank You
