package firmware-b43-installer 4.150.10.5-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

I got "InstallArchives() failed" in a pop-up trying to install the driver. This is preventing me from installing the driver/having wireless support.

Occurred in a fully up-to-date Maverick install at the time of this writing.
