Title:
  package ncurses-term 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade:
  package ncurses-term is not ready for configuration  cannot configure
  (current status 'half-installed')

Status in ncurses package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I thought this was suppose to be fixed.  I tried to install lbs
  package on my epson XP-620 and download the drivers using the Ubuntu
  software center to load the  3rd party drivers from epson as I always
  have (that works great under 14.04 after installing the lsb package
  prior to downloading the newest/same old Linux drivers from  epson
  that still work. I had all kinds of box's pop up with errors so I
  stopped the install that was stuck anyway.  I rebooted and loaded any
  and all updates, there were none.  I then went back to the epson page
  and loaded the lsb and then continued to the epson drivers through the
  Ubuntu Software Center it told me I still had errors but it was still
  trying to ask me which driver to load so I picked the right one and it
  did load it and I was able to print out a test page.  I almost stopped
  and reloaded 14.04.

  Ok I forgot to check to see what printed when I hit the print test
  page .  It sounded like it was printing it made all the right sounds
  like it was printing but it

   {[printed a blank page}].

   and I just tried to print this page and the same thing happened it
  acted like it was printing but the printed page was blank.  I changed
  the all of the ink cartridges a few weeks ago and have printed about
  10 to 20 pages with less than half text and a few graphics and it
  worked fine then.  I have a headache.
