Title:
  package language-pack-en 1:16.04+20160627 failed to install/upgrade:
  package language-pack-en is already installed and configured

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I tried to update OS as it was in the top of the update list.

  But it paused, and I tried to reboot computer.

  After that, all I could see was just a mouse pointer.

  So, I executed Ubuntu recovery mode and choose repair broken packages.

  After that, I could succeed on logging in,

  but updating OS failed when I tried again.
