WD19TBS firmware update on Linux fails with SyntaxError
When trying to update WD19TBS firmware on Ubuntu 23.04 the upgrader fails with:
File "DellDockFirmwarePackage_WD19_WD22_Series_HD22_01.00.20.bin", line 179
#
SyntaxError: source code cannot contain null bytes
Does anyone know how to fix it?

I have ubuntu which is why i was using the website version..
it seems that I did not have to. The firmware updater in Ubuntu got me a version newer than the one posted on the support website.. so yeah not required to execute this thing on the command line..
