[Bug 262783] Re: cannot install linux-image-2.6.27-1-server and linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic together

[graysky]

I have experience this as well when attempting to install my custom
compiled 2.6.28.x series kernel.

dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.28.7-em64t_1_amd64.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/lib/firmware/atmsar11.fw', which is also in package linux-image-2.6.27.10-em64t
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Here is the complete log:

$ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.28.7-em64t_1_amd64.deb
