Hello Jean-Batiste,
Thanks for the feedback I did the "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but I still see
the same error every time I'm installing a new package with synaptic or
apt-get command:
"
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
Setting up 3dchess (0.8.1-16) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
 bcmwl-kernel-source
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
"
If I type :
r58...@r58851-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure bcmwl-kernel-source
Setting up bcmwl-kernel-source (5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu4) ...
dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script:

What can I do ?

Regards,
Loic
