The problem here is that the downloaded file https://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-6.30.163.46.tar.bz2 does not match expected checksum, meaning its content is different.
You can get it using wget, but you'll get a 114 byte file that is actually a html file with redirect. If you try to paste this address in the browser, you'll get redirected to https://www.lwfinger.com/lander that is empty. So either the site this package depends on is down, or they have temporary outage.
Remove the package as it is currently half-installed

If you need the firmware you can't have brcmwl-kernel-source or any broadcom-sta installed as those packages blacklist the drivers you need
