Thanks for the quick reply, I found out that it was some kind of hard drive issue: while installing nmap there was a rsync job copying over 200 GB from one drive to another. It somehow froze the "apt-get install nmap" command at the point of unpacking. Strange this is that I could use the computer for everything else without slowdowns of any sorts, but trying to install new software did not work.
After the rsync job finished, i reinstalled nmap and everything went fine. -- package nmap 5.00-3 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nmap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
