[Bug 1796760] Re: package libnss-winbind:i386 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.5 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

What exactly do you mean by "updating Ubuntu", did you try to upgrade
from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, or were you just trying to update 16.04 to
its latest? Your logs show some packages from 18.04, I wonder if you
just changed "xenial" to "bionic" in /etc/apt/sources.list and tried an
"apt dist-upgrade"?
