Topic: rfkill?

I just did a new installation and the RFKill package has disappeared, one day ago I used it in xinitrc to turn off the Bluetooth, now it is not in the repositories.

Re: rfkill?

The command rfkill is part of the package util-linux which resides in the repository core.
There was never and is no package named rfkill.

Furthermore: The command rfkill resides in /usr/sbin and is therefore NOT accessible without corresponding privileges out of reasoning. We do not provide "usr-merge" and therefore also not all binaries into /usr/bin alike.

Re: rfkill?

Thus it seemed to me too, my mistake, I have changed the BIOS with the LIBREBOT_20160907 version and RFKILL was unusable,
reinstalling CANOEBOOT_20240612 the command works perfectly.
