You need to do:
sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq brscan4
so that it will force it's removal despite being marked inconsistent, an
apt-get remove won't do it.

The following packages are in a mess due to serious problems during
installation. They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages
that depend on them) to function properly:

Error: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
