Hi
I tried to install a driver for a brother printer and now get told that
packages are in an inconsistent state
searching through
/var/lib/dpkg/status
reveals the following
Package: mfcj615wlpr
Status: install reinstreq half-installed
Maintainer: Brother Industries, Ltd.
Architecture: i386
Version: 1.1.1-1
Config-Version: 1.1.1-1
Description: Brother lpr Inkjet Printer Definitions

Brother inkjet printer Driver
I just wondered how i fix this, I can't un-install as it needs to be
reinstalled to do that, however I can't reinstall due to the state its
in (buggy package partly)
Any ideas on fixing this so i can start over with trying to install
drivers for a brother mfcj615w properly and hopefully get it working.
thanks
Paul
