[Bug 2008051] Re: package linux-firmware 1.187.36 failed to install/upgrade: installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Seth Arnold]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public

  package linux-firmware 1.187.36 failed to install/upgrade: installed
  linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned
  error exit status 1

Bug description:
  I don't know.. I have no idea.. you've made this too difficult for
  average users (non technical people) and it isn't fair. Something is
  failing on my system related to installing linux-firmware and that
  sounds bad. Now I (a regular person) have to drop everything and try
  to figure it out? Maybe if I don't give you what you want here in this
  further information section I don't get help or the thing to be fixed?
