I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04 (4.15.0-48-generic) from 18.04. Since then I can't upgrade, because apt cannot configure libcupsfilters1.



I tried:



  • to remove and/or reinstall the package


  • apt-get install -f

  • run autoclean, autoremove

  • tried to install with dpkg

nothing worked so far. Google search is not helping much, since it's not finding the package name somehow.



Edit: requested output of sudo dpkg --configure -a



dpkg: error processing package libcupsfilters1:amd64 (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libcupsfilters-dev:amd64:
libcupsfilters-dev:amd64 depends on libcupsfilters1 (= 1.20.2-0ubuntu3.1); however:
Package libcupsfilters1:amd64 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package libcupsfilters-dev:amd64 (--configure):

Since the other errors talk about a package (libcupsfilters1) being unconfigured, let's configure it:



sudo dpkg --configure libcupsfilters1


In this case, that output gives us the answer:



dpkg: error processing package libcupsfilters1:amd64 (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration


It's easy to reinstall a package using apt:



sudo apt install --reinstall libcupsfilters1
