[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

 

There are no logs here which would show what led to the bad state of
libpam-systemd, and after your dist-upgrade the package is now installed
fine, so we lost the evidence of what went wrong. You apparently used
"apt-get upgrade" before, which doesn't write any further logs (such as
the update manager), so I'm afraid there's nothing else we can do here.
Thanks!
