Package: firmware-carl9170 Version: 1.9.9-399-gcd480b9-1 Severity: serious User: [email protected] Usertags: fileconflict Control: affects -1 + firmware-linux-free
firmware-carl9170 installs /lib/firmware/carl9170-1.fw, which is also currently installed by firmware-linux-free. I see that this is quite intentional as this piece of firmware is being split out from the larger firmware package. On a packaging level, this needs to be addressed with Replaces, Conflicts or diversions. Failing to do so, results in an unpack error from dpkg. I understand that getting the firmware removed from firmware-linux-free may take a bit and you can only then set up the correct Breaks+Replaces. That's fine. Just keep this bug open until that matter is resolved. Helmut
