[Bug 2137612] [NEW] package linux-headers-6.8.0-90-generic 6.8.0-90.91 failed to install/upgrade: installed linux-headers-6.8.0-90-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 4

Public bug reported:

The Ubuntu OS asked me to send the bug report.
I then asked me for my password over and over and over again until I hit cancel.
Running ubuntu-bug linux started the password request loop

Running 1) cat /proc/version_signature > version.log & 2) sudo lspci
-vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log resulted in nothing.
