[Bug 1686472] Re: package libkrb5support0:amd64 1.13.2+dfsg-5ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

I can't spot what initially failed for you, but since you are now in a
bad state I'd recommend to follow usual cleanup howtos as in [1] just
adapted to the packages you are facing issues with.

That seem to be overall:
- libgssapi-krb5-2
- libkrb5-3
- libkrb5support0

Refreshing those should help, please report back if the problem
persists.
