Public bug reported:
I have an Ubuntu 24.04.1 TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption setup, there
is a problem with last wireless-regdb update.
Whenever I try to update the system, I get this error:
The following packages will be upgraded:

1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/7.058 B of archives.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I know snap pc-kernel has own firmware on immutable read-only filesystem.
wireless-regdb package was on the system with no problem.
How can I uninstall the package? or is this a bug with lastest wireless-regdb
against snap pc-kernel install?
