This happened to me during the upgrade to Jaunty, but after a reboot I
ran "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" and it worked well. I don't
think the problem is with b43-fwcutter package. Please confirm if you
got this error during the upgrade to Jaunty.
It happens after downloading the packages. The cause is that a package
(perhaps NetworkManager) gets installed and causes the existing
NetworkManager process to lose its internet connection (wired network).
Since the majority of packages contain their own data to be installed,
this is fine for most packages, but the b43-fwcutter refers to an online
location which is unaccessible after NetworkManager goes down. The
upgrade fails due to errors.
There are many approaches that can be taken to make the upgrade smoother. I'm
not sure of the feasibility of each of these:
1) Do not mark b43-fwcutter as a package to upgrade. After the reboot, have
jockey pop up a "detected hardware - get drivers" notification.
2) Avoid NetworkManager losing the internet connection during the upgrade.
3) Make NetworkManager the last package to be installed before reboot.
4) Have b43-fwcutter include the data to be installed, instead of referring to
openwrt.org
