** Description changed: Binary package hint: bandwidthd I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Bandwidthd is always seen in the update manager and whenever i try to download the package i get the following message - E: /var/cache/apt/archives/bandwidthd_2.0.1+cvs20090917-3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 - - Unable to install or upgrade the package. On attempting to remove package through synaptic package manager I get the message that the package is in a bad inconsistent state and hence need to be reinstalled. Since I am not able to reinstall it I am caught in a vicious circle. Though i do not miss anything due to bug in the package. I am not able to download VLC media player as it seems to be dependent on Bandwithd. + Unable to install or upgrade the package.
