Hey guys,

I try to to sudo apt-get upgrade but I constantly get the following message:


dpkg: error processing package mount (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration
Errors were encountered while processing:
mount
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I cannot do anything and I cannot install anything. Im using 16.04. Can anybody please help me! Thanks a million!

peyman.kafaeil Hello; Welcome to the forum .

How about trying what the package manager suggest .
in terminal "try" and run:


sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install --reinstall mount


Depending. we do what needs then.
