When I did sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade, everything went fine except it got stuck on Unpacking papirus-icon-theme (20210101-4888+pkg21~ubuntu20.04.1) over (20201201- 4800+pkg21~ubuntu20.04.1) ... for about 5-10 minutes, so I stopped it and tried it again but it still didn't work.

So then I tried installing an app from terminal but it still wants to update papirus, so I decided to remove it with sudo apt remove papirus-icon-theme, but then it said package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal, so I tried reinstalling papirus with sudo apt --reinstall install papirus-icon-theme but it wanted to unpack it again.

How do I fix the unpacking problem or even just remove it completely?

  • It takes a lot of time, especially on older computers and low end arm devices. But wait for an hour or so, and it should work. Don't interrupt the installation process – Archisman Panigrahi Feb 19 '22 at 13:11
