I am getting this while installing libebml3:



Errors were encountered while processing:
libebml3:i386
Error in function:
dpkg: error processing libebml3:i386 (--configure):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration.


How can I fix this?

          Since I happened to have the same problem with another package, wanting a reinstall, and all the methods in the answers either did nothing or first uninstall the whole system before reinstalling, I ended up with a solution.



          sudo aptitude reinstall libebml3:i386


          Of course, there must be another solution to force a package to reinstall using apt-get instead of aptitude.



          sudo apt-get install --reinstall libebml3:i386

            Good, unless you need to reinstall a package that aptitude depends on (like libboost_iostreams).

          • Using man apt-get the solution appears : --reinstall Re-Install packages that are already installed and at the newest version.

              You could remove the program by entering the following commands in a terminal:



              sudo apt-get remove --purge libebml3
              sudo apt-get install libebm13
              sudo apt-get update
