I have been installing and uninstalling some apps today and decided to have a clean up after.
sudo apt clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
I then fired up Software Updater, which found a OS base update, so installed it.
I noticed the following errors at the end of that process
Processing triggers for install-info (6.5.0.dfsg.1-2) …
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130ubuntu3.9) …

Are these just “Possible” errors or something I should worry about as Zorin boots and runs OK.
I am booting 5.4.0-45 and also have 5.4.0-42 listed in GRUB.
Thanks for the replies and link.
Seems that the errors may just go away next kernel update.
As no functionality seems affected, I will wait and see instead of messing about with it for the time being.
I noticed the same errors when new kernel came in yesterday. So decided to download the 6 missing files, copied them to /lib/firmware/i915, then performed two commands as per link provided by @jgordon sudo update-initramfs -u sudo apt-get update -y
Did a reboot and Zorin still works- phew!
@Jonte what firmware issues do you have? also is it affecting how ZorinOS is running?
You can find from the posts above and the link provided by @jgordon what worked in my case.
I did not neded to try the solution provided by @ManicMan
