The correct symlink is present in the package. The problem is that it
used to have:
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107/gsp -> ../ad102/gsp
and now it has:
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 -> ad102
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 -> ad102
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106 -> ad102
/usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107 -> ad102
i.e. several directories were replaced by symlinks. And dpkg does not
handle this correctly in an upgrade.
As a workaround, you can remove and reinstall the package. But I will
need to do some work to make upgrades work correctly.
Ben.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
