[Bug 702903] Re: package tftpd-hpa 5.0-11ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: Pakiet jest w złym stanie - powinien zostać przeinstalowany przed usunięciem.

I cannot reproduce this.

I translated the error message to this:

"The package is in poor condition - it should be reinstalled before
removal"

How I knew the original was in Polish is beyond me.
