Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Examining the information you have given us, this looks more like you need support rather than having a bug. Have you attempted to `sudo apt- get -f install` or other usual first steps? You provided no evidence of what trying to fix the package problem using normal maintenance procedures, so I suggest support would be a first step? This bug report can be converted to a question (which is aimed at support). 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 I've marked this bug incomplete as normal support steps don't appear to have been tried, or evidence of them hasn't been provided. If you believe I'm in error, or can provide additional detail of steps done, please change status back to "New" and leave comment, or additional information as to what was attempted. Thanks again for helping make Ubuntu better. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847966 Title: package linux-headers-4.4.0-96 4.4.0-96.119 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: at-spiregistryd.desktop.
