Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. In an effort to keep an up-to-date list of bugs to work I have reviewed this report to verify it still requires a fix and it occurs on a supported version of Ubuntu.
It appears that somehow you have some local configuration issue with this package that has caused it to be in an inconsistent state. The best solution is to reinstall and get the package back into a healthy state. It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect, however there appears to be no further action possible at this time. I am therefore moving the bug to 'Incomplete'. If you disagree or have additional details, please feel free to add a comment and then change the status of the bug to 'New'. ** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to krb5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539110 Title: package libk5crypto3:amd64 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.2 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration Status in krb5 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: - ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: libk5crypto3:amd64 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-77.121-generic 3.13.11-ckt32 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-77-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Jan 22 20:29:59 2016 Dependencies: gcc-4.9-base 4.9.3-0ubuntu4 libc6 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 libgcc1 1:4.9.3-0ubuntu4 libkrb5support0 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.2 multiarch-support 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 DuplicateSignature: package:libk5crypto3:amd64:1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.2:package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration ErrorMessage: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-05-03 (1365 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.17.5ubuntu5.5 apt 1.0.1ubuntu2.11 SourcePackage: krb5 Title: package libk5crypto3:amd64 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.2 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-08-02 (543 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/1539110/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
