Bug Description
While upgrading from Quantal to Raring the package linux-firmware-
From what I can tell heres where happened:
(Reading database ... 129845 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking linux-firmware-
dpkg: error processing linux-firmware-
trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-
Looks like that the upgrade path for these 3 packages should follow in this order. linux-firmware -> linux-image-nexus7 -> linux-firmware-
-------
As a workaround heres what I did,
In this order.
1.) Remove linux-image-nexus7 pkg, which is still version 3.1.10.7.11 at this point, the raring version is 3.1.10.8.14
2.) Remove linux-firmware. which is again at the quantal version 1.95nexus3 , the raring version is 1.98
3.) navigate to /var/apt/
4.) kick off the dist-upgrade again and continue the process
5.) when upgrade finishes , apt-get install the following:
6.) apt-get install linux-firmware (ver 1.98)
7.) apt-get install linux-image-nexus7 <ver 3.1.10.8.14)
8.) verify all 3 are installed via apt-cache policy

importance: | Critical → Medium |
Is there a way to force upgrade order?
Would upgrading linux-firmware as an initial step and then doing the dist upgrade work?
I'd rather we document this or some other workaround than add Conflicts: in the raring package.
