I am running Radxa OS, Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) on Rock 5c.
I have trouble upgrading radxa-firmware package.
The error mentions conflict with firmware-misc-nonfree.
Does anyone have the same kind of issue.

==================
Update has failed.
This may be caused by network issue, or clock out of sync.
You can try update again later.

The file it wants to overwrite is the GPU firmware blob. Not sure what the best solution is, maybe you can just rm it and it will get installed anyway. Radxa just failed to notice it is now offered in another package
