I also got this error when I tried to upgrade. Upon trying 'apt reinstall linux-firmware' I get the following:

# apt reinstall linux-firmware
The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
  linux-firmware
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-firmware:amd64

I am running on a relatively new GIGABYTE B650M AORUS ELITE AX AM5 motherboard with an AMD 7900 CPU and am configured using a bootable ZFS configuration that was updating fine, previously. 'dpkg -l' shows the offending package version info as:
iF linux-firmware 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.14 all Firmware for Linux kernel drivers

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

E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/zz-busybox-initramfs failed with return 1.

Can you modify this file (sudo nano /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/zz-busybox-initramfs) and change the line "set -e" to "set -ex"? Then run:

sudo update-initramfs -u

This should print everything that zz-busybox-initramfs executes and will help understanding which parts failed there.
