[Bug 2082768] Re: While upgrading Ubuntu got the message: could not install 'linux-firmware"

[Nick Rosbrook]

I see the following error in the term log:

Setting up linux-firmware (20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.31) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-122-generic

dpkg: error processing package linux-firmware (--configure):

Did you somehow delete this file? In any case, this is not an upgrader
bug. Maybe initramfs-tools should handle this case better?
