Public bug reported: After a crash on the computer, Libreoffice no longer works. I can't remove it completely, so i can't reinstall the package. I'm not completely sure that libreoffice is the problem, but it's the only program i have found that does not work anymore.
I have other computers, so i'm in no panic about this :-) The following is copied from a terminal window (in danish language): pbn@gigagoegler:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 pbn@gigagoegler:~$ apt-cache policy libreoffice libreoffice: Installeret: (ingen) Kandidat: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 Versionstabel: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 500 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/universe amd64 Packages 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages pbn@gigagoegler:~$ pbn@gigagoegler:~$ apt-cache policy libreoffice-common 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 libreoffice-common: Installeret: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 Kandidat: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 Versionstabel: *** 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 500 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main i386 Packages 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/main amd64 Packages 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 500 http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages N: Kunne ikke lokalisere pakken 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 N: Kunne ikke finde nogle pakker med glob »1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2« N: Kunne ikke finde nogle pakker med regulært udtryk »1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2« pbn@gigagoegler:~$ ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: libreoffice-common 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-83.106-generic 4.4.70 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-83-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.9 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Jul 17 09:22:15 2017 DuplicateSignature: package:libreoffice-common:1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 Processing triggers for dbus (1.10.6-1ubuntu3.3) ... dpkg: error processing package libreoffice-common (--configure): package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should ErrorMessage: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-06-22 (390 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) PackageArchitecture: all RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1.2 apt 1.2.20 SourcePackage: libreoffice Title: package libreoffice-common 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 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) ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-package xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704827 Title: package libreoffice-common 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1704827/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
