Was going to upgrade to 18.04 LTS and received the following messages during the prep and the attempt of the upgrade. I have had issues with this same package in the past (see above...package linux- headers-4.4.0-70-generic 4.4.0-70.91 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration). Someone suggested a bot made a change to this. Why would there not be an archive for it? Might the file(s) be misplaced? I did a search of the directories and it appears there are folders for linux-headers-4.4.0-70-generic, linux-headers-4.4.0-70, linux-headers-4.4.0-145, linux-headers-4.4.0-145-generic, linux- headers-4.4.0-146 and linux-headers-4.4.0-146-generic residing under usr in folder src. How do I reconcile so I can upgrade to 18.04 LTS?
