Title:
  package readline-common 7.0-3 failed to install/upgrade: package
  readline-common is already installed and configured

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My upgrade from Xubuntu Studio Artful Aardvark to Bionic Beaver failed
  early in the configuration stage, with no explanation. I repaired with
  ""apt --fix-broken installation" and seem to have a working system
  now. A lot of automatic problem reports were generated, and I have no
  idea what caused them.
