I am running buster on my Linux platform.
I have installed a new Brother Laser print using the current Brother Linux installer. The printer is working, but when I try running Synaptic I get an error: E: The package brscan4 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. I tried Goggling but didn't find any solutions. Then I tried uninstalling the offending package and got an error: comp@AbNormal:~/Downloads/Brother-MFC-L2710DW$ sudo ./uninstaller_brscan4 [sudo] password for comp: dpkg: error processing package brscan4 (--purge): package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal Errors were encountered while processing: brscan4 That failed. Finally, I tried reinstalling with dpkg, which also failed. The complete log is attached. At this point I am completely beyond my depth in even starting to understand the error messages, let alone solving it. Help will be much appreciated. Stephen P.
