Error during system update

Decided to do system update, as per usual with Tumbleweed - “sudo zypper dup”, but during update got these errors, and I don’t understand why:

(47/73) Installing: kernel-firmware-qlogic-20220930-1.1.noarch ........................................................................................[done] 
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/firmware/qcom/LENOVO/21BX;6340cc63: cpio: File from package already exists as a directory in system

Should I be concerned? Abort or ignore?

My bad. Forgot to use the search. Thanks.

Resolved.
WWolf1776’s solution to remove and reinstall “kernel-firmware-qcom” worked for me.

So enter “i” to ignore the error, wait for other updates to finish, then:
sudo zypper remove kernel-firmware-qcom
and then
sudo zypper install kernel-firmware-qcom
reboot
