Every time I update the system (with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade) I get an error that ends in:

Errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools 

Searching someone sugested to use sudo apt-get auto-remove && apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, which gives the same error, this is the complete output:

I just installed Debian 12, and I don't know where to find a solution. Just in case it helps, this is my sources.list:

deb bookworm contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb-src bookworm contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb bookworm-updates contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb-src bookworm-updates contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb bookworm-proposed-updates contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb-src bookworm-proposed-updates contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb bookworm-backports contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb-src bookworm-backports contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb bookworm-security contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb-src bookworm-security contrib main non-free non-free-firmware deb bookworm main non-free 

Thanks in advance,

If you are not in a raspberry, move the script file that is causing problem to another place by running the command: sudo mv /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/z50-raspi-firmware ~/. (You can also delete the file, but i recommend moving just for security).

After that, sudo update-initramfs -u to update the Initramfs image.
