After full system apt-upgrade, while live kernel upgrading, I’ve got the following warning this time (never have seen it before) :
Warnung: uc-tool not found -- skipping microcode refreshNow, for me this looks like there is some dependency missing in the live-kernel-updater package. Searched apt for it and found:
$ apt-cache search uc-tool uc-tool-mx - Generate and inject AMD/Intel microcode CPIO images into initrdIs that that one expected to be installed, and will it work in antiX, since marked as MX explicitly? Or does it need some adjustments to make an uc-tool-antix package from it possibly? Should I install the MX version present in the repos manually on antiX now?
It’s a Warning, to be read like “For Info”. When uc-tool is not available / installed, live-kernel-updater will inform you that no µcode-injecton will take place.
apt show uc-tool-mx gives:

Description: Generate and inject AMD/Intel microcode CPIO images into initrd
uc-tool builds early-boot CPU microcode CPIO images directly from
system firmware directories (or a squashfs firmware image) and optionally
updates an existing initrd in-place: strips any old leading microcode CPIOs,
prepends the newly built ones, refreshes the .md5 sidecar file if present,
and runs e4defrag on ext4 targets.
.
Supports AMD microcode (sorted concatenation of firmware blobs into
AuthenticAMD.bin) and Intel microcode (via iucode_tool). Additional
modes allow stripping microcode from an initrd without replacing it, and
probing whether microcode is already present (useful for scripted workflows).
My suggestion would be to get uc-tool into the antiX repos.
