[Bug 505788] Re: Error on upgrade - Jaunty

[Babu]

No luck - even purge seems to fail. This is my console output on trying that :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo apt-get --purge remove pdns-recursor
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  pdns-recursor*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 1114kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
dpkg: error processing pdns-recursor (--purge):
 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:

I then tried the reinstall as suggested by apt-get, and that too failed with the following output :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install pdns-recursor
