[Bug 792833] Re: package lirc 0.8.7-0ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

 

Hi, can you please try again with the latest lirc from zesty (a.k.a. upcoming 17.04 version), and set the status back to "new" in case you still experience such issue?
You can also try it from my ppa, where I backported it to xenial and yakkety releases (16.04 and 16.10)
