[Bug 837400] Re: package keyboard-configuration 1.57ubuntu24 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package keyboard-configuration is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

The underlying problem is the one below and it's usually a problem of a
broken symlink installed on the system (filesystem corruption). You can
try to unpack gedit-common with with dpkg -D111 --install to see which
symlink is broken and then remove it. The next try should then work.

Unpacking replacement gedit-common ...

dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:978: tarobject: Assertion `r == stab.st_size'
failed.

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