Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug. I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2000117 Title: package cups-common 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.2 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration Status in cups package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: upgradation is not successful ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: cups-common 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-56.62~20.04.1-generic 5.15.64 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-56-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.25 AptOrdering: ca-certificates:amd64: Install NULL: ConfigurePending Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CupsErrorLog: W [20/Dec/2022:09:22:47 +0530] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Brother_DCP_L2540DW_series-Gray..\' already exists W [20/Dec/2022:09:22:47 +0530] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Brother_DCP_L2540DW_series-DeviceN..\' already exists Date: Tue Dec 20 06:53:22 2022 Dependencies: DuplicateSignature: package:cups-common:2.3.1-9ubuntu1.2 Unpacking ca-certificates (20211016ubuntu0.20.04.1) over (20211016~20.04.1) ... dpkg: error processing package cups-common (--configure): package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should ErrorMessage: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-09-21 (89 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200731) Lpstat: device for Brother_DCP_L2540DW_series: implicitclass://Brother_DCP_L2540DW_series/ device for DCP-L2520D-series: usb://Brother/DCP-L2520D%20series?serial=E73800M7N852807 MachineType: Tyrone Systems SS400TR PackageArchitecture: all Papersize: a4 PpdFiles: Brother_DCP_L2540DW_series: Brother DCP-L2540DW series, driverless, cups-filters 1.27.4 DCP-L2520D-series: Brother DCP-L2520D series, using brlaser v6 ProcCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-56-generic root=UUID=1affea12-c52b-4cfc-806d-e1c58530a677 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-56-generic root=UUID=1affea12-c52b-4cfc-806d-e1c58530a677 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.8, Python 3.8.10, python3-minimal, 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 PythonDetails: N/A RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.19.7ubuntu3.2 apt 2.0.9 SourcePackage: cups Title: package cups-common 2.3.1-9ubuntu1.2 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 02/10/2020 dmi.bios.release: 5.15 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 2.0a dmi.board.asset.tag: Default string dmi.board.name: SS400TR-54 dmi.board.vendor: Tyrone Systems dmi.board.version: 1.02 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: SOB300121130A dmi.chassis.type: 17 dmi.chassis.vendor: Tyrone Systems dmi.chassis.version: TY-SS4T dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr2.0a:bd02/10/2020:br5.15:svnTyroneSystems:pnSS400TR:pvrIntelChipsetC422:rvnTyroneSystems:rnSS400TR-54:rvr1.02:cvnTyroneSystems:ct17:cvrTY-SS4T:skuDefaultstring: dmi.product.family: Default string dmi.product.name: SS400TR dmi.product.sku: Default string dmi.product.version: Intel Chipset C422 dmi.sys.vendor: Tyrone Systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/2000117/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
