The other day I used aptitude to install Bugzilla, and it failed. After reading some other posts regarding modifications, it finally was able to configure and run. However now whenever I run sudo apt-get upgrade I get:

Problem is, I don't want to remove Bugzilla, now that I've got it working. I just want it to act as those its configured, or alternatively, get the configure not to mess things up.

I ran dpkg --configure bugzilla and it generated the same error.

Your apt-get is of no use in this state. You have to remove bugzilla and then reinstall it.

Disappointing, but okay. I ran apt-get remove bugzilla.

Then I ran apt-get install bugzilla, and got:

Do you have an 'upgrade' to Hardy or a clean install?

Reinstalling the offending packages fixes this problem for me.

sudo apt-get install <list of offending packages> --reinstall
