  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu

  root@owncloud-utopic-vm:~# uname -a

  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:

  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
