Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709. As such, this bug has been closed and turned into a question. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Converted to question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+question/707963 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2036373 Title: package cups-bsd 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.5 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I am attempting to install Zoom onto my laptop.
