Hi ndsipa pomu and thanks!

I had succeeded on restoring synaptic functions, using terminal yet.
I uninstall alsa-firmware to restore it, but it steel to be on error issue
after reinstalling it, with :
"E:
/var/cache/apt/archives/alsa-firmware_1.0.17-0medibuntu2.9.04.1_i386.deb:
tentative de remplacement de « /lib/firmware/yamaha/ds1e_ctrl.fw », qui
appartient aussi au paquet linux-firmware 0"


I did what you suggested to me, and then I post you down the error issue
message:
"fayc@fayc-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite ls
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-firmware*.dev
dpkg : erreur de traitement de ls (--install) :
 ne peut pas accéder à l'archive: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
dpkg : erreur de traitement de /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-firmware*.dev

Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution :

 /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-firmware*.dev *(i tryed with linux-firmware
version at first, and secondly with the one which match with my version :)*

fayc@fayc-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite

It seems to be the same problem than Paul Neaveil's one, with the same
architecture
ProblemType: Package
 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04
Package: linux-firmware 1.34.1
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
Architecture: amd64.

thanks a lot for your contribution !!!
