@mohan: Have you tried doing what APT suggests: reinstalling deja-dup, which is apparently "in a very bad inconsistent state" (possibly because something failed during your system update on 2017-04-11 11:02:02, although I don't know what did)?
For instance, from the command line: sudo apt-get install --reinstall deja-dup You may also want to check next if there are broken dependencies: sudo apt-get check And fix any broken dependencies with: sudo apt-get install --fix-broken Before upgrading your system again: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Also, instead of removing the battery to shutdown your laptop when it freezes, you can try switching to a virtual text console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F2, F3, ..., F6). Explore the process list with commands such as "ps", "ps aux | more", "top" and kill whichever process you can identify as a cause for the freeze with "kill <process ID>", "kill -9 <process ID>", "killall <name>". Then go back to the graphical interface with Ctrl+Alt+F7 to check if it's unfrozen. If that fails, you can try restarting the graphical session with "sudo service lightdm restart" in a virtual text console. And if you can't even get to a virtual text console, you can try powering off your laptop by long pressing the power button instead of removing the battery. That works on many laptops. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681679 Title: package deja-dup 34.2-0ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1681679/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
