I am getting this error on 3 of 3 Pi 3B+ computers so I suspect it is a bigger picture issue rather than my systems: Does anyone have any information or perhaps a work around?

TIA,

Ken

Have you asked the developers for help ?

https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/

Yes. I am looking at some replies over there.

The issue is that you have a conflict between linux-firmware-raspi2 and bluez-firmware 1.2-4+rpt1~bionic1.0.

The "bluez" package is for Bluetooth dongles based on the Broadcom BCM203x chipset. I don't use bluetooth on my PI 3b+ and forced the install. Does not seem to have any disastrous results.

If you want to override it, you can do force the install via:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite <filename>

which will be
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-firmware-raspi2_1.20190215-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_armhf.deb

and then

sudo apt-get -f install
