Hi folks,
Seems that there is an installation conflict about /lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw (and probably others) between 2.6.27 and 2.6.27.1. Using dpkg I get
: Unpacking raw-kernel-2.6.27.1 (from .../raw-kernel-2.6.27.1_2.6.27.1-0_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/raw-kernel-2.6.27.1_2.6.27.1-0_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw', which is also in package raw-kernel-2.6.27 dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/raw-kernel-2.6.27.1_2.6.27.1-0_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Probably other package managers get a similar problem.
Wouldn't it be more consistent to put the firmware files in a kernel specific directory, e.g. in /lib/firmware/2.6.27.1 or /lib/modules/2.6.27.1/firmware ?
Regards
Harri
