[Bug 1608251] Re: package base-files 9.4ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Muqsith]

Hi,
I am sorry I do not remember what exactly I was doing that time (Date: Sun
Jul 31 22:18:01 2016), but I can recollect a bit.
I had got new Intel NUX for myself on 30th July and I started setting up
Ubuntu on it. After successful installation of Ubuntu 16.04, I started
installing few other software beginning with  Chrome browser and I believe
I got stuck here itself while installing Chrome browser.
But later on I moved ahead I don't know what I did but some how this
problem was gone and further I never faced it.

Kind regards,
muqsith
