[Bug 1562349] Re: I can't update my Ubuntu cause of: package libgssapi-krb5-2:amd64 1.13.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Steve Langasek]

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to improve Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, the logs in question only show that your system is in an
inconsistent state; they do not explain how the system got to be that
way, so there is nothing the developers can do to debug this and prevent
this from occurring in the future.

To correct the problem on your system, you need to do as the error
message indicates and reinstall the libgssapi-krb5-2 package.  You
should be able to achieve this by running the following command from a
terminal:

  sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgssapi-krb5-2

Bug description:
  I could not update my ubuntu 15.10 (amd64) from some weeks.

  I tried with
  sudo apt-get clean
  sudo apt-get update

  It seemed to work, the update process found a lot of updates to
  install, but when the moment for krb5 arrived, the process crashed
  again
