newer Ubuntu user here.Having issues with installs and updates. While attempting an install I received errors regarding some packages. Have attempted numerous generic solutions
(note I have already attempted apt-get clean, update, upgrade, install -f dpkg --configure -a and sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade from previous questions and receive the same error.)
Sorry for my english and linux knowledge.Thanks
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration
