[Bug 1270412] Re: package librpmbuild3 4.11.1-2 failed to install/upgrade: package librpmbuild3 is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')

[rmartinez]

Dear Mike, I try this:

sudo apt-get purge epson-inkjet-printer-n10-nx127

And removed it without problems.
Then:

sudo apt-get purge lsb librpmbuild3

But it gave:

dpkg: error processing librpmbuild3 (--purge):
 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 librpmbuild3
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I did:

sudo aptitude reinstall librpmbuild3

And could finally get rid of the error... Now I'll try to install epson drivers again.
Best regards and keep up the good work!
