Currently, FirmAE uses binwalk 2.3.3.

Please check your binwalk version.

I had the same problem, and I'm sure my binwalk is version 2.3.3
Binwalk v2.3.3+28f7eb4

[fdgnneig]

Installed in ununtu20.04 can be used normally

[pr0v3rbs]

I can't reproduce the situation on the cleanly installed system in ubuntu 20.04.

The current version of the binwalk can be checked in the python3 with this command import binwalk; binwalk.__version__. (In the root)

If the version is not correct, please re-install the binwalk using this command (https://github.com/pr0v3rbs/FirmAE/blob/master/install.sh#L25-L31)

The binwalk need to be installed in the root.

Hey @pr0v3rbs, the binwalk repo has file deps.sh, which is corrupted due to a change of repo ubi_reader, hence that file cannot work properly.
But just installing using command sudo python3 setup.py install as instructed of binwalk will install binwalk. Then we just need to install sasquatch to make FirmAE work.

I modified the install.sh file of FirmAE a bit so it can install binwalk and work properly

I solved this issue using the following command
Maybe could help you

sudo apt-get autoremove binwalk
cd binwalk-2.3.4
sudo python3 setup.py install
