[Bug 1593375] Re: package python3-urllib3 1.13.1-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Looks like the dpkg status db has got corrupted; you can reset using:

cd /var/lib/dpkg/updates && sudo rm -rf 00*
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Marking 'Invalid' as this is a transient install issue, rather than a
software bug.

** Changed in: python-urllib3 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
