I encounter an issue with Debian 12 and my PC.
CPU info: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics.
I cannot do apt upgrade, it fails due to – see log below.
I understand that it is related to AMDGPU firmware. I found some solutions online. I tried to do autoremove or purge and it failed with the same errors. These solutions don’t look like correct.
I am quite newbie with Linux and probably there is a very simple way how to fix it.
I already have firmware-amd-graphics packages installed
I assume that the lines starting with W: Possible missing firmware I can ignore, these are just warnings.
Could anyone give me a hint or help me?

I only suggest that you do not rush and format the computer. I did it and it didn’t fix it. That leads me to think that it is possible that it is a general error that will solve itself, with time. In any case, I’ll keep an eye on how you’re doing. Sorry for not being able to give you a solution. And for my english.
