[Bug 783239] [NEW] update-intel-microcode crashed with KeyError in getmember(): "filename u'microcode-20110428.dat' not found"

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Apport retracing service (apport):

Binary package hint: microcode.ctl

It looks like the update-intel-microcode python script which replaced
the old bash script runs into some trouble parsing the JSON file Intel
provides, and so microcode updates fail on Linux... again. :-/

I'm sure it would be so easy for Intel to provide a stable interface
which would allow for retrieving this information in a proper and
reliable way, they /just/ need to do this... ;-)
