Yes this is as expected as we put it on hold. Will be switched back on next release. Explanation you can find in one of the other post related to the topic. Should be easy to find via forum search.

Thank you for your response, Joulinar.

I had seen the topics “Apt update/ apt upgrade/ apt dist-upgrade problem” and “Rpi-eeprom update fails” but it seemed to me that the initial problem was slightly different because in my case, I did not have not seen any error while running Rpi-eeprom update. The package is just not deleted.

This is why I preferred to create a new topic. Sorry if that was a mistake.

Regards.

I guess following is exactly your message?? Rpi-eeprom update fails - #29 by Joulinar

Last entry of this forum post will guide you to a GitHub issue where you can set rpi-eeprom to unhold or you just wait until next release.
