Installed Debian 9 + Proxmox 5: pve-firmware package error

[Pablo Alcaraz]

Hello

I was installing Proxmox 5 on an AMD box by installing Debian 9 first and upgrading to Proxmox 5.
Package pve-firmware failed and Proxmox 5 installation stopped:

Preparing to unpack .../229-pve-firmware_2.0-2_all.deb ...
Unpacking pve-firmware (2.0-2) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-WJL2ke/229-pve-firmware_2.0-2_all.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/amdgpu/carrizo_ce.bin', which is also in package firmware-amd-graphics 20161130-3
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)​

just remove proprietary firmware and complete the installation with apt-get install -f

so the steps to solve this install problem are:

sudo apt remove pve-firmware proxmox-ve
sudo apt remove firmware-amd-graphics
sudo apt install proxmox-ve postfix open-iscsi​

after that I could finish the installation
