During the fetching of updates it came with the following message:
hwdata <-> hwids (/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids), hwdata <-> hwids (/usr/share/hwdata/pnp.ids), hwdata ,-. hwids (/usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids): conflicting files
Please report this issue to the packagers of your distribution.
I tried this update 15 minutes ago, if that is relevant.
Needless to say that the updates did not go trough.
I have absolutely no idea about what this may relate to!
