Bug Description
Hi there
In the latest release of u-boot-tools both commands "fw_printenv" and "fw_setenv" was removed from package.
Changelog for 2020.10+
" - Remove fw_printenv and fw_setenv and Recommend libubootenv-tool.
(Closes: #939598)
"
Bug number 939598 is referencing to the Debian bugzilla (https:/
As I can see, fw_setenv and fw_printenv was removed from Debian package due to conflict with same binaries in package libubootenv-tool. However, this package is available only in Ubuntu 20 but not in Ubuntu 18.
There is no alternative package containing this files: https:/
More to say, "file-not-found" command is referencing to "u-boot-tools" command:
```
# apt install u-boot-tools

# fw_printenv
Command 'fw_printenv' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install u-boot-tools
```
Please provide alternative package for Ubuntu 18.04 (e.g libubootenv-tool) because this is breaking change
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
