[Bug 1900335] Re: package linux-firmware 1.187.3 failed to install/upgrade: installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Relevant lines from DpkgTerminalLog.txt:

cp: cannot stat '/etc/ykluks.cfg': No such file or directory

You have yubikey-luks installed, which hooks into update-initramfs and
attempts to load a configuration file /etc/ykluks.cfg - which does not
exist. As a result, the hook, update-initramfs, and configuring the
linux-firmware package (which triggers an update-initramfs) fail.

This is probably a configuration issue. It could also *possibly* be a
bug in yubikey-luks (*may* want to just warn if this configuration file
is missing), so I'm reassigning to that for now.

Note that yubikey-luks is in universe, so community maintained.

** Package changed: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) => yubikey-luks (Ubuntu)
