[Bug 1737353] Re: package python3-jwt 1.3.0-1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[ChristianEhrhardt]

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

This looks like local corruption or misconfiguration, rather than a bug
in Ubuntu. You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem
here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug rather than a problem specific to
your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

Without steps to reproduce the problem, there is little that can be done
on this bug. I'll mark this bug as Incomplete for now, pending someone
else confirming that it is a bug or unless someone can provide steps to
reproduce.

I hope the hints I added help you to sort it out in your particular
case.

Please do report any other bugs you may find
