Hi, I didn't find a particular reason in the logs that got auto-attached. So I can't reproduce.
In general I'd recommend for this case 1. Remove the broken content: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <package> 2. Install the package: sudo apt-get install <package> I hope that helps, if not please reopen the bug with some extra info about what might be wrong with your apache package. Please include at least: - debsums apache2 - debsums apache2-bin ** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413884 Title: package apache2-bin 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1413884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
