[Bug 1241385] Re: package syslinux-common 3:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package syslinux-common is already installed and configured

[Brian Murray]

The initial error here is due to a corrupt package but then dpkg tries
to configure the package that failed to unpack:
