Thank you for your report.
The error was
Preparing to replace openoffice.org-l10n-common 1:3.1.1-4ubuntu1 (using
.../openoffice.org-l10n-common_1%3a3.2.0-7ubuntu1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement openoffice.org-l10n-common ...
dpkg: error processing openoffice.org-core (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Could you please run the command:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall openffice.org-core
and try performing the upgrade again. If that fix your problem then set the
status of this report to invalid. Thanks in advance.
** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
