Title:
  linux-firmware-nonfree doesn't properly install firmware.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The latest version of linux-firmware-nonfree does not install the
  firmware files to /lib/firmware as expected. In fact, if --reinstall
  is selected, the package actually removes previously installed
  firmware! Please see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2243562
  Refer to posts #9 and following.

  On my own system, I did: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-
  firmware-nonfree. After it completes, I did: ls -al /lib/firmware/b43
  and find: ls: cannot access /lib/firmware/b43: No such file or
  directory

  As this package installs required firmware for many ubiquitous
  Broadcom wireless devices, it is important that this bug be corrected
  soon.
