[Bug 1503656] Re: package libpam-systemd:amd64 204-5ubuntu20.15 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

 

Hi,
I tried several stuff but nothing make "apt-get upgrade" working, still got the libpam_systemd package error.

Then I did a "apt-get dist-upgrade" and all things come back fine.
Ahter this dist-upgrade I got :
- Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
- libpam_systemD : 204-5ubuntu20.15
- kernel: 3.13.0-66-generic
