[Bug 1844031] Re: package whoopsie 0.2.52.5ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Examining the information you have given us (esp. request at end), this
looks more like you need support rather than having a bug.  Have you
attempted to install --reinstall the package as it suggested?

This bug report can be converted to a question (which is aimed at
support). You can also find help with your problem in the support forum
of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at
https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support
options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-
support/709

I've marked this bug incomplete as normal support steps don't appear to
have been tried, or evidence of them hasn't been provided.  If you
believe I'm in error, or can provide additional detail of steps done,
please change status back to "New" and leave comment, or additional
information as to what was attempted.

Thanks again for helping make Ubuntu better.
