[Bug 2046646] Re: package fwupd 1.7.9-1~22.04.3 failed to install/upgrade: installed fwupd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The relevant dpkg terminal log says:

/usr/sbin/update-initramfs: 175: awk: Too many levels of symbolic links

It looks like a broken setup of the awk alternative. Can you follow the suggestions in
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1459281/error-update-initramfs-175-awk-too-many-levels-of-symbolic-links-when-using to solve your issues?
