Package: firmware-carl9170
Version: 1.9.9-399-gcd480b9-1
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: fileconflict
Control: affects -1 + firmware-linux-free

firmware-carl9170 installs /lib/firmware/carl9170-1.fw, which is also
currently installed by firmware-linux-free. I see that this is quite
intentional as this piece of firmware is being split out from the larger
firmware package. On a packaging level, this needs to be addressed with
Replaces, Conflicts or diversions. Failing to do so, results in an
unpack error from dpkg. I understand that getting the firmware removed
from firmware-linux-free may take a bit and you can only then set up the
correct Breaks+Replaces. That's fine. Just keep this bug open until that
matter is resolved.
