Title:
  package nvidia-304-updates 304.125-0ubuntu0.0.1 failed to
  install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you
  should  reinstall it before attempting a removal

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My motherboard is based on NVidia 8200. I am using this machine as a
  HTPC running Kodi. The system was running fine using Ubuntu 12.04.
  However, after upgrading to 14.04 the nouveau driver is sometimes
  causing crashes. To fix these problems I tried to install a
  proprietary NVidia driver. The latest driver will crash UBuntu
  completely after launching Kodi.

  While trying to activate the 304 driver the system did take several
  minutes and the progress bar stopped moving. After rebooting the
  machine the current error was reported. It's strange that there are so
  many problems with Trusty. I wish I had never upgraded my HTPC.
