[Bug 1375836] Re: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS - apt-get broken after upgrade - Package netbase is not configured yet.

[William Lee]

I have recently upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04.1 LTS.
Tell me what version you upgraded from and did anything happen during the upgrade that could have affected the system?
Also have you tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (without the quotes)?
