Bug Description
SRU template for firmware-
[Impact]
We put the Recommends: firmware-sof-signed (>= 1.9-1) in the
linux-firmware/
the firmware-sof-signed will be downloaded and unpacked first, this
will introduce below errors:
Unpacking firmware-sof-signed (1.9-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/
trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/
dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Preparing to unpack .../linux-
Unpacking linux-firmware (1.202+staging.1) over (1.202) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[Fix]
Need to put Replaces: linux-firmware (<= 1.203) in the debian/control,
and the sof-tplg is a symbol link in the firmware-
replaces the sof-tplg folder in the linux-firmware of old version, it will
generate an empty sof-tplg folder, there are no any topology files in the
folder and the symbol link is not generated. To solve it, modify the debian/rules
to change symbol link to a copy of folder.
[Test]
put the updated firmware-sof-signed and linux-firmware to my ppa,
and run sudo apt install linux-firmware, then the two packages are upgraded
and installed, reboot all audio function work as well as before.
[Where problems could occur]
The firmware-sof-signed doesn't contain all files that we plan to remove from
linux-firmware, but there is no evidence that those files are used by
any platforms, If some platforms fail to load the sof-firmware or topology
files and audio function fail to work, it is possibily this SRU introduce the
regression.
SRU template for linux-firmware:
[Impact]
In the past we put the sof-firmware files into the linux-firmware,
and about half year ago, the sof-firmware has its own debian package,
it is firmware-
from linux-firmware and replace them with the package firmware-
Here put Recommends: firmware-sof-signed (>= 1.9-1) in the
linux-firmware/
firmware-sof-signed will be unpacked first, it will have conflicts
because this package update the same files in the linux-firmware of
old version, so apart of this pull-request to linux-firmware, also need to
do some change on firmware-
firmware-sof-signed in the launchpad.
This is the error log when unpacking the firmware-

remove the sof-firmware files from linux-firmware, and replace

The current firmware-sof version 1.6.1-2 can't replace the sof-firmware in our linux-firmware package. At least an important firmware file is missing in the firmware-sof.
I have wrote an email to debian maintainer, he told me he is planning a higher version (1.7), once the 1.7 is ready, we could remove the sof-firmware in the linux-firmware and use the firmware-sof package.
Below is the reply from the maintainer:
Hi Hui,
I hadn't realised that's how it worked 🙂
So I had prepared a 1.7 version a month ago:

But I wasn't able to get this uploaded as there was a freeze on so the debian maintainer who has been helping me wouldn't take it. I'll see if that's possible now (and likely have to update to the latest...)
