This happens when trying to update things in apt in PopOS. Tell me if more info is needed. I hope I posted to the right community.>>>

Also please increase the window size of your terminal.

And use tripe backticks to paste terminal output/code. Makes it easier to read.

Example:

```

debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline Setting up linux-firmware (20230629.gitee91452d-0ubuntu1+system76168959496022.04~9d563bf) … update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.2.6-76060206-generic cp: cannot stat ‘/lib/klibc-*.so’: No such file or directory E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/klibc-utils failed with return 1. update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-6.2.6-76060206-generic with 1. dpkg: error processing package linux-firmware (–configure): installed linux-firmware package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: linux-firmware E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

```

would result in

debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.) 
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline Setting up linux-firmware (20230629.gitee91452d-0ubuntu1+system76168959496022.04~9d563bf) …
