I'm having trouble installing/removing a program "bandwidthd". It's now in a weird state of not being installed or being able to remove.
i've tried to upgrade to get it installed, and I get this; sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be upgraded: bandwidthd 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 2 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0 B/79.3 kB of archives. After this operation, 77.8 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Reading changelogs...
