[Bug 1196766] Re: package python-xapian 1.2.12-2 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting configuration.

[Olly Betts]

This issue was reported multiple times for python-xapian (though as I
noted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xapian-
bindings/+bug/1075632/comments/2 it doesn't seem specific to python-
xapian) but there are no reports against python3-xapian, so I'm closing
as fixed by the removed of python-xapian (as part of the Python2 purge).

** Changed in: xapian-bindings (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
