Broken tint package when building for x230

When running the script for x230, the build process stop at this step :

Uh oh. Things did not go according to plan.   

The required file is apparently missing from the url.

Not something I would have expected to break...but...it seems like it was corrected in coreboot patchset #48616. If you are trying to build an older version of coreboot, the cherry picked patch may need to be added to x230/compile.sh after downloadOrUpdateCoreboot

Hmm I did not specify any version during the build, so it theory that should not have happened ?

@kedare There are a few ways this could happen and setting an older version is just the most obvious. The build scripts were written to automate and assist but not be overly intrusive. What is the full command line you used for build.sh? Have you used these scripts before or did you just clone/download the repo? If you don't know, tint this is just a secondary payload that is a Tetris clone, if it is something you will never use it can be removed.

Verified this was fixed in coreboot v4.21. However, as the sha256 release file was not updated, either --bleeding-edge or -t 4.21 flags will be needed when using these build scripts. Hopefully this can be corrected soon.
