Re: Pakages in a very bad inconsistent state



Output of 'lsattr /sbin/lsmod':
------------ /sbin/lsmod

Output of 'dpkg --purge modutils':
dpkg: error processing modutils (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.

Still the same problem :-(
