[Bug 1593374] Re: package python3-pyparsing 2.0.3+dfsg1-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Looking at the log, the dpkg updates db has got corrupted - try a reset
using:

  cd /var/lib/dpkg/updates && sudo rm -rf 00*
  sudo dpkg --configure -a

Marking 'Invalid' for this package as its a transient installation
issue, rather than a bug in this python module.

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