[Bug 1964794] Re: Faulty linux-firmware upgrade

[bsdz]

I have the same issue (although error messages in English):

$ sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I double checked the deb file and there's a
/lib/firmware/ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/regdb.bin file. Perhaps the issue
might be that /lib/firmware/ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1/regdb.bin is a symlink
to this file in the same archive and during unpacking there's the issue
described in:
