Its says that it can't configure the bcmwl kernel source. Even when I type

sudo dpkg --configure bcmwl-kernel-source

It says the following:

Setting up bcmwl-kernel-source (5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu4) ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script:
Exec format error
dpkg: error processing bcmwl-kernel-source (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 bcmwl-kernel-source
