package bcmwl-kernel-source (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 30

Hi this could be the package causing the bug. I am not sure, when I ran the bug report on it it seemed to produce the attached info all by iteself so I am asusming some of it is correct.

My problem is I have a Dell XPS 13 9343 Laptop with a Broadcom WIFI adapter. I have used several versions of Ubuntu on it from 15.04 to 16.04 (installed over the last few days).

15.04 required me to connect to the internet on a wire and install the propriety drivers through system settings.
15.10 seemed to do this process automatically, without needing a wired connection
16.04 this is now broken, the driver was installed by default and did not work. I tried reinstalling several times.

Originally I upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04 but after this a few other minor issues decided to do a full reinstall from a USB stick. The only problem that persisted was the WIFI not working at all.
