Bug description:

  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (development branch)
  Release:	14.10

  root@owncloud-utopic-vm:~# uname -a
  Linux owncloud-utopic-vm 3.16.0-20-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 1 17:35:12 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  
  I tried

  root@owncloud-utopic-vm:~# dpkg --configure -a
  dpkg: error processing package python2.7 (--configure):
   package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
   reinstall it before attempting configuration
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   python2.7

  
  Also

  root@owncloud-utopic-vm:~# dpkg-reconfigure python2.7
  /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: python2.7 is broken or not fully installed

  
  But this fixed it for me:

  root@owncloud-utopic-vm:~# apt-get download python2.7
