Comment 5 for bug 1964814

A different file was reported for me:

Unpacking linux-firmware (20220314.gitcd01f857-0ubuntu1) over (20220302.gitee0667aa-0ubuntu1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-firmware_20220314.gitcd01f857-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):

No apport report written because the error message indicates an issue on the local system

$ ls /lib/firmware/ath11k/WCN6855/ -la

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Feb 17 08:51 hw2.1 -> hw2.0

The problem could be resolved locally via
sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath11k/WCN6855 -rf

After upgrading the symbolic link is gone:
