[Bug 1763758] Re: package libavahi-glib1:amd64 0.6.32~rc+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Trent Lloyd]

Not sure how this happened,, strange dpkg issue it seems like FS
corruption or shutdown during a package install.  Unusual to see that.

To get your system back on track, I suggest you try some combination of
these commands (You might need to run each a couple of times depending)

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt install libavahi-glib1 --reinstall
