Based from my memory of the IRC discussion, the bug was caused by a bad -proposed upload.
This upload has now been removed from the archive pending a new upload of the fix.

So as far as "Error processing bcmwl-kernel-source" is concerned, the issue is fixed.

In order to fix your system, you need to apt-get install the current package from the archive by forcing its installation (as the version number is low. "apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source/natty" should do it

Changed in bcmwl (Ubuntu):
