[Bug 1700332] Re: package systemd-sysv 232-21ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

dpkg: error processing package systemd-sysv (--configure):
 package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
 reinstall it before attempting configuration


There is not much output to go by.

Please try:

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt install --reinstall systemd-sysv

And provide the output of those two commands.
