[Bug 1250178] [NEW] package libglib2.0-data 2.38.1-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

[Glenn Dobson]

Public bug reported:

I initially got this error "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run
'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem", I ran the command
but it also failed.  I tried removing the package via the software
center so I could reinstall it but that also failed.
