[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]

These look like the important errors:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-60-generic
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/dm-2
I: (/dev/mapper/vgubuntu-swap_1)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.
Error 24 : Write error : cannot write compressed block 
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 lz4 -9 -l 24
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-60-generic with 1.

These kinds of messages usually mean your /boot is full. And your Df.txt
confirms this:

/dev/nvme0n1p2               719936    550688    116784  83% /boot

try: sudo apt autoremove

that might help, it might not. If it doesn't help, the easiest thing to
do is to *truncate* old kernels and initrds from /boot. 'sudo truncate
-s0 /boot/....' preferably of the old versions that you're not actively
running at the moment. Be careful, this could make the system fail to
boot in the future if you truncate too many things, mismatched things,
etc.

Once done, try: sudo apt install -f

You could also ask for help on https://askubuntu.com/ or irc #ubuntu
irc.libera.chat.

Thanks

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?
