[Bug 1572167] Re: package libavcodec-ffmpeg-extra56:amd64 7:2.7.6-0ubuntu0.15.10.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Andreas Cadhalpun]

This looks like another problem in software-center/aptdaemon, similar to
#1509169 and #1511571. Thus I'm reassinging the bug.

** Package changed: ffmpeg (Ubuntu) => aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
