The key phrase in the error message is package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

Reinstall the problematic package using sudo apt install --reinstall <package-name>

So, in your case, that would be sudo apt install --reinstall linux-hwe-6.5-headers-6.5.0-26
