    Hi Stephen,

    replacing 'm68k' by one of the officially supported architectures (I
    used 'amd64') will give a working URL. This does contain a workaround to
    shut up the new warning:

    "
    If you were pointed to this chapter by apt you can prevent it from
    continuously notifying you about this change by creating an apt.conf(5)
    file named /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/no-bookworm-firmware.conf with the
    following content:

    APT::Get::Update::SourceListWarnings::NonFreeFirmware "false";
    "

    I suspect there has never been any firmware distributed for m68k in
    non-free, so maybe the m68k port ought to set that apt config setting by default in future releases ...

    Cheers,

    Michael

    Thanks. That has cleared/removed the error.
