This doesn't seem to be a bug. I'm turning this into a question, so other people can help you to fix it.
Please, open a terminal and try this: sudo dpkg --force-all -r language-pack-en language-pack-en-base Then, enter your password if you're asked to. Afer that, enter this: sudo apt-get install language-pack-en language-pack-en-base That should hopefully solve your problem. ** Changed in: language-pack-en (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Converted to question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-en/+question/122109 -- package language-pack-en 1:10.04 20100421 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
