[PVE-User] pve-firmware conflicts with lenny-backports packages

[Derek W. Poon]

pve-firmware 1.0-3 conflicts with the Debian packages firmware-linux-free and firmware-linux-nonfree of the lenny-backports repository. It would be nice if you could either make use of the standard Debian packages, or mark pve-firmware as conflicting with or replacing the Debian packages so that APT can work properly.

Debian lenny does not contain those packages. But I will add it
for the future to be compatible with backports and squeeze.

Thanks,

I'm submitting a patch on pve-kernel-2.6.32 to blacklist firmware files already included in Debian packages. Switching this thread from pve-user to pve-devel...
