The related error we already saw before int he log being: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable Now there are a few things one can do trying to clean up, steps are: 1. ensure all currently active related processes are really gone 2. clean up the files 3. retry upgrade/install #1.1 If the upgrades in your system never stop (I assume the prompt you somewhere, but you can't see) please kill the related processes #1.1 check if the lock files are still there $ ll /var/cache/debconf/config.dat #1.2 check who (if any) still has a hold on these files $ sudo lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat If there is any check what the reported PID is and end them gracefully if possible, and hard if needed #2 now that really no active update should be going on the file should be gone, but it isn't in your case, so remove it $ sudo rm /var/cache/debconf/config.dat #3 run the upgrade from a console, so if any user interaction is needed you can see, handle and in the worst case report it here $ apt-get upgrade $ apt install clamav Please report back if you had success cleaning up that concurrent locking issue due to background apt activity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698772 Title: package clamav-base 0.99.2+dfsg-6 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1698772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
