[Bug 1776652] Re: package linux-firmware 1.173.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Don Bruce]

If the problem is corrected as stated by Mauricio Grueso (Above) Why has
this not been fixed? His note was dated June of LAST YEAR! This fix
might also fix the MANY other bugs of the same type I have encountered.
I am no programmer so I really don't know how to incorporate Grueso's
fix. Thank you,
