>From the log: install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration
I can't spot what initially failed for you, but since you are now in a bad state I'd recommend to follow usual cleanup howtos as in [1] just adapted to the packages you are facing issues with. That seem to be overall: - libgssapi-krb5-2 - libkrb5-3 - libkrb5support0 Refreshing those should help, please report back if the problem persists.
