The package 'firmware-linux-free' needs to replace the package
'linux-firmware', but the package manager is trying to install
firmware-linux-free alongside linux-firmware and stopping when it sees
that they conflict. Normally the Trisquel version of a package should
just overwrite the Ubuntu version. I think the problem here is that the
Trisquel package has a different name.

Try running

$ sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install 
firmware-linux-free

This should force the installation of firmware-linux-free, overwriting
the files it has in common with linux-firmware.
