During a routine apt-get update && apt-get upgrade session, my Debian unstable box decided that the packaging of frozen-bubble-data was confusing.
<SNIP> Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Preconfiguring packages ... Can't open perl script "/usr/share/foomatic/parseconfig.pl": No such file or directory dpkg: error processing frozen-bubble-data (--purge): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing: frozen-bubble-data E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue. I cannot apt-get --purge remove frozen-bubble-data and nothing I've done will allow my system to proceed with a normal upgrade. The system always stops because of this inconsistency with frozen-bubble-data. Any ideas? Bob Tilley -- Think twice before speaking, but don't say "think think click click".
