Hi Andreas, Thanks for writing. Looks like you are right. It did not work straight away, i had to make several updates (and eventually an upgrade command) for it to work. I can now install apps via the terminal and also via the software manager (I only tried a few games that maybe are not needing the packages that were damaged.) However Clam still fails to install even using the terminal. Looks like it's an issue with Freshclam. I will try new apps like screaming frog later and keep you updated. At least the vulnerability issue is over now.

Hi Andreas, I realised I was incomplete in my answer yesterday. The installations that stall are those initiated via the software manager, not via apt-get. Additional information After restarting, the software manager says it (ClamAv) is installed but I cannot configure it because it's not fully installed. So we are back to square one except that updates seem to install completely. (I'm waiting for new ones to be available before being able to confirm this.)

Hi Andreas, Thanks again for your precious help. We are nearly there. At least it looks like the DPKG issue is lessened. I am attaching 2 files with the outputs from the terminal. The one without the "bis" is the output I had the first time. Where not much changed in the sense that after restart I still had a pending update from the software manager which stalled at about 90%. The one ending with "bis" is when I tried again after restarting again and again. I was prompted to use "apt --fix-broken install" which apparently fixed most issue as I could fully install that update, then check for more updates from the terminal. What's left is the initial issue, which is that new applications (Clamav or any other) cannot be installed. The process stalls half-way. Should I repeat the full processes from the begining? (Report output for ps fauxwwand sudo lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat) Thanks again and best regards Bernard On 04/07/17 01:06, Andreas Hasenack wrote: > Wow, so many things happened > > Can you try > > "sudo apt install --reinstall libc6-dev"? > ** Attachment added: "reinstall libc6-dev-bis" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698772/+attachment/4910144/+files/reinstall%20libc6-dev-bis ** Attachment added: "reinstall libc6-dev" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698772/+attachment/4910145/+files/reinstall%20libc6-dev -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698772 Title: package clamav-base 0.99.2+dfsg-6 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1698772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Joshua, Thanks for your input. Pardon my ignorance but I guess I need to place or extract the downloaded contents somewhere in the root directory after down load. When I ran the command it first had a message (which I don't remeber) but meaning it could not locate the files or something. Then I opted the right-click and open with package installer. It did initiate until it reached 95% then stalled. Now that I try the command again it says it's locked [dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process] Any idea to get around this?

Hi Christian, Here are some updates. FYI, since I started getting this problem I had set the update manager to never check for updates, so it could not have been an update going in the back ground. Also, since your first reply I had not restarted the computer as I prefered to have it all backed-up first. Today I did and straightaway check the package manager. It was like initially; Clamav was installed but unusable as all its config files etc were not installed. 1. I tried to remove via the package manager and got: "Detailed errors from the package manager follow: apt transaction returned result exit-failed" 2. tried via the terminal and got: bernard@bernard-Lenovo-Flex-2-14:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove clamav clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam libclamav2 Reading package lists...

Hi Christian, Thanks for the response. Since my understanding of all this is next to null, I have just followed the steps you recommended, without results. Here are the outputs. 1. At first the outputs were different and did not change anything. I eventually stopped the process of the update manager, restarted a few times and finally got the response that the file was no more present. 2.

Dear Andreas, Thanks for responding. I have indeed an update from the software installer that starts then stalls. It may be it. Anyway, most updates, like applications / software being installed, stall half-way. Attached is the output.

[Bug 1698772] [NEW] package clamav-base 0.99.2+dfsg-6 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal
Public bug reported: Hi, my Ubuntu version is 17.04 cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=17.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=zesty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 17.04" Chronology 1. A fresh install of Ubuntu was done approx. 1 month ago by a non-expert. 2. Trying to install Screaming frog I noticed installation stalled (download was OK) 3. Tested software centre by installing ClamAv and it also stalled. 4 Now I went down the checklist mentioned here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure 5. It looked like the main issue was around the ca certificates which apparently were not at all installed. 6. Reran command[LANG=C;sudo apt-get -f install] and got output: Reading package lists...
