This isn't anything that xterm itself has control over. The half-
installed status listed means that not all the files that are part of
xterm have even been unpacked on your computer (presumably because you
ran out of disk space mid-install). `dpkg` doesn't have enough
information to be able to fix this, as it doesn't know where to look for
the missing files that are part of xterm, and thus can't complete enough
of the installation to be able to set up a running xterm installation.
In order to fix this problem, you will need to use a program that can
download the missing parts of xterm from a repository, such as `apt`.
You could use a command like this to reinstall xterm, overwriting your
broken xterm half-installation:
> sudo apt install --reinstall xterm
(This will fetch any missing parts of xterm from the Internet, meaning
that they don't have to be present on your computer.)
I'm marking this bug as invalid in xterm as there's really nothing that
xterm can do about it: when parts of a program simply aren't there, it's
basically impossible for the program to recover itself. You have to let
the package manager do that for you.
** Changed in: xterm (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
