Hi, I was trying to upgrade on a fresh 16.04 system, and maybe certain packages were causing dependency issues, I broke down the updates into smaller package installs and installed them one after the other, and it and the upgrade worked from 16.04 to 16.04.1.

Hi, Usually people are recommending to uninstall and reinstall the package. That is harder to do on init. But you could try to do: $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install init I wonder as it is just an almost empty package where not that much should be able to break, but to be sure If the former doesn't help could you report back with the output of these commands: $ dpkg -s init $ dpkg --verify init $ debconf-show init $ dpkg -L init Note - that might be related from the log: Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/progress.py:491: Warning: Source ID 95 was not found when attempting to remove it Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: GLib.source_remove(id) Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/progress.py:491: Warning: Source ID 96 was not found when attempting to remove it Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: GLib.source_remove(id) Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/progress.py:491: Warning: Source ID 99 was not found when attempting to remove it Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: GLib.source_remove(id) Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/progress.py:491: Warning: Source ID 100 was not found when attempting to remove it Nov 24 19:57:37 hostname org.debian.apt[662]: GLib.source_remove(id) ** Changed in: init-system-helpers (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to init-system-helpers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644572 Title: package init 1.29ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration Status in init-system-helpers package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Cannot install any new packages, broke init ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: init 1.29ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-47.68-generic 4.4.24 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-47-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Nov 24 19:57:35 2016 DpkgTerminalLog: dpkg: error processing package init (--configure): 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 2016-11-24 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1.1 apt 1.2.10ubuntu1 SourcePackage: init-system-helpers Title: package init 1.29ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1644572/+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
