Summary:
I am unable to install Additional Drivers after upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I receive the following error message:
Unable to install "Additional Drivers":
Error while installing package: installed linux-image-4.15.0-88-
generic package post-removal script subprocess returned
error exit status 1
System: Dell Precision 5510 Mobile Workstation, 32GB RAM, 1TB Samsung NVMe hard drive; dual-booted with Windows 7 Pro-64
Details:
If I try to rip out the package linux-image-4.15.0-88-generic manually, it fails. I am stuck. It also appears that I am unable to add/remove any other packages as well.

I am stuck. How do I rip this package out or fix what is wrong? I haven't done any package management myself. All I did was an "upgrade" from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS via the Software Update widget.
TIA.
