package firmware-b43-installer 1:015-9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This has been confirmed in the past, but it has recently afflicted me again. I looked up the problem online when my wireless connector stopped working, and tried doing the old fix of downloading the fwcutter. However I realized my system wasn't fully updated, so I fully updated it, and I now have a failed install of this installer and no connection to the internet wirelessly.
