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

  • You'll have to use copy and paste and give us the exact command you are using for your install, as well as the exact error message. The message that you are showing is had to do with trying to configure something that isn't installed and has to be installed first. – L. D. James Feb 01 '17 at 23:47
  • when I enter apt-get upgrade for example it show up, I can't install anything – Hichem Mkaouar Feb 02 '17 at 00:17
  • also when I enter this command: " dpkg --configure -a ", this shows up dpkg: error processing package man-db (--configure): dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed Errors were encountered while processing: debconf man-db – Hichem Mkaouar Feb 02 '17 at 00:19
  • Those words I can't install anything don't appear on my computer. If I type those words into Google to see how others have resolved the issue, I don't get any hits that are legible. If you could copy the exact command and the exact error message it would be very easy to find a resolution. Any error you get won't be the first. The error messages are exact and have exact resolutions. – L. D. James Feb 02 '17 at 00:22
  • I edited the command in the question – Hichem Mkaouar Feb 02 '17 at 00:29
  • The exact command should have been sudo apt upgrade. I'm sure you typed in sudo otherwise it would not have gone as far. Now try this: edit your question and add this command and the output of it, using copy and paste, so that we can see the exact wording. sudo apt install -f – L. D. James Feb 02 '17 at 00:31
  • Also run this: sudo apt dist-upgrade. – L. D. James Feb 02 '17 at 00:36
  • Debconf is not broken - the title is misleading. Looks more like you (unwisely) modified the original version of Python2. Don't do that - essential system services (like apt) rely upon that specific version of python2. You can install multiple versions of python2 on your system...but not by using the package manager. – user535733 Feb 02 '17 at 00:40
  • @L.D.James still the same thing – Hichem Mkaouar Feb 02 '17 at 00:44
  • Will you use your arrow keys and browse so that you can see the exact command you typed in when you modified python which was already installed by default. Seeing exactly what you typed in will help us to be able to figure out how to fix the problem it has caused. Also run sudo apt autoremove. – L. D. James Feb 02 '17 at 00:49
  • it's not there anymore I did reboot the computer and tried many things, I remember when I entered python it showed python 2.7.13 and I did an installation for python 2.7.3 – Hichem Mkaouar Feb 02 '17 at 00:54
  • I remember I followed the exact same steps of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4AgCELJHVM but it's not the same versions than him, I thought it will work just fine, I had version 2.7.13 and I installed 2.7.3 – Hichem Mkaouar Feb 02 '17 at 00:59
  • One of the problems is that the video is for Kali and not Ubuntu. As far s reviewing the history of your typed commands, they will survive a reboot. You could most likely hit the uparrow enough times to see the commands you've typed in for a week. Looking at the video, you may have used a variation of sudo make install. You can try to remove the problem install by, first going to the folder where you compiled the package and run sudo make uninstall. If you show output, you don't have to show the full output, just the last 10 or so lines should show a sufficient result. – L. D. James Feb 02 '17 at 01:18
  • Also run sudo apt install --reinstall python – L. D. James Feb 02 '17 at 01:20
  • Could not help but notice that in all of the command examples in this question, there is an IOError ...unable to find /usr/lib/python2.7/MAKEfile. Looked in that path on my machine and can find no MAKEfile in that path. – Craig Feb 02 '17 at 02:00

Debconf isn't broken. You have a broken install of a package you attempted to install that doesn't have the libraries properly installed. Debconf is informing you of this. This is indicated in the message, showing that you have 1 not fully installed or removed. It can't remove the packages that you have manually installed because they were not installed using the Debconf (apt install) system which will include a configuration of where all the files that were added during the install process, where they are, and which files are depended on the installation.

You can still install and remove applications from the repository using either the GUI software center or the command-line apt install.

To remove the errors and notices of your output, you would have to manually remove the failed package that you manually attempted to install.

How to remove manually installed applications

This can be done by studying the files in the package you downloaded and looking for a method provided by the distributor of how to uninstall the package. This will usually be found in a Readme.txt or Install.txt file with instructions of how to remove or how to install.

In many circumstances the the library's author will provide a method for removing the file such as sudo make uninstall. The make command has a dry run option that doesn't make any changes to the system, but shows what it will do. You can run:

$ make -n install

Then manually remove the problem files. You will have to be careful with the files you remove. If the files are used with a different package, the other package may become broken. In that case, if you develop a problem with a different package you can bring the other package back to it's proper state with:

$ sudo apt install --reinstall [package name]

In this case running this will properly install python from the repository:

$ sudo apt install --reinstall python

Despite this is a bit overkill, a quick fix for this problem is to use conda:

Download and install

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# Follow the prompts on the installer screens
# Close and then re-open your terminal window

A base environment should be activated, check which python version is installed, and in case you need a different version just install it with conda and activate it:

# install
conda create --name base_python2 python=2
# or
conda create --name base_python3 python=3

# activate env
conda activate base_python2
# or
conda activate base_python3

Note: if you want to set a default python version different from the one it was stablished to be the base env, you can add the activation line into your .bashrc.
