   The correct symlink is present in the package.  The problem is that it   
   used to have:   
      
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp   
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp   
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp   
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp   
      
   and now it has:   
      
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 -> ad102   
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 -> ad102   
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106 -> ad102   
       /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107 -> ad102   
      
   i.e. several directories were replaced by symlinks.  And dpkg does not   
   handle this correctly in an upgrade.   
      
   As a workaround, you can remove and reinstall the package.  But I will   
   need to do some work to make upgrades work correctly.

   it's less confusing that way.
