Public bug reported:

The software updates for critical package bcmwl install FAILED. I
expected it to NOT FAIL.

Initial install on Asus G750JW-DB71 notebook was Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS from
CD (because 12.04.4 and 13.10 would hang while installing). It had no
Broadcom wireless driver working so I manually added the BCM43xx driver
found in hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_95.tar.gz and got the
wireless working.

At this point I checked for software updates keeping the critical
security updates (which included this package whose install failed) but
uncheck all the recommended updates. I also previously tried it without
the BCM manual driver installation where it also fails but the jockey
log file ended with complaints about a missing wl driver (see attached
jockey.log.1 file).

I installed on the internal WDC 1TB disk using partitions 2 & 3; partitioned as follows :
sda1 101MB NTFS
sda2 10GB  EXT4 / for Ubuntu
sda3 13744 GB linux-swap for Ubuntu
