[Bug 2117374] Re: package bsdutils 1:2.39.3-9ubuntu6.2 failed to install/upgrade: package bsdutils is already installed and configured

[Julian Andres Klode]

It seems your bsdutils deb actually contains ldap-utils. Was there
perhaps a disk corruption at some point?

This then throws up dpkg and leads to the error because we tell it

unpack bsdutils.deb
configure bsdutils

but since "bsdutils.deb" actually contains ldap-utils it then fails to
configure `bsdutils` because it already is configured / has not been
upgraded.

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
