** 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.

  I am also attaching the term.log file. I am doing so as I had come
  across in some forum,
