[Bug 1701412] Re: package libgnutls30:i386 3.4.10-4ubuntu1.3 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Adrien Nader]

AFAIU this was an issue in an old gnutls update on xenial and it only
occured with a specific version and probably on the subsequent apt
upgrade. All reports are very tightly grouped in time and there has been
none for more than seven years so I guess that subsequent versions fixed
it.

** Changed in: gnutls28 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
