[Bug 1537469] Re: package linux-generic 4.2.0.25.27 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

 

You may need to run the following from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package or updates.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"
