2.6.27.1: install conflict about /lib/firmware

[Harald Dunkel]

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
