[Bug 531651] Re: package libcups2-dev 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates.

This is a package failure between currently unsupported releases so we
can no longer work on this.

BTW, Janitor was removed.

** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  package libcups2-dev 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade:
  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should  reinstall it
  before attempting a removal.

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  I think it came about as a result of using Janitor as I recall Janitor
  targeting this file (amongst many others) for removal - and the
  process ground to a halt in a grey screen that did not resolve it's
  self after 10 minutes.....

  Dunno.
