[Bug 1468537] Re: package cpp-4.8 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Steve Beattie]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public
