package ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.4.17 failed to install/upgrade: pacote ubuntu-drivers-common não está pronto para configuração não posso configurar (estado atual 'half-installed')

[Gabriel Santos Neto]

I don't know if it is a real bug or a system misunderstanding. I'm running a brand new installation of Ubuntu Studio 16.04 32bit ins a Dell Inspiron 1525. It did not recognize my Broadcom Wireless card, so i ran "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer" in a terminal and this error came to me.

The system told me to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and reboot. I did it and tried again the installation of b43-fwcutter and this time, even with the same error, my wireless connection was recognized

You may try to run

sudo apt-get -f install

which sometimes corrects this kind of thing.

May I ask you why you're using a 32-bit install? The 64-bit became the recommended one some time ago.
