Recently, i was installing the new version from 13.04 to 13.10 ubuntu while also watching a video. Well, guess what happened, my desktop crashed for like 4 minutes and then upon gaining access to the desktop again everything seemed messed up like box symbols where characters should be.



I know it was a bad idea but i decided to reboot halting the installation process and now i am stuck with this error.



dpkg: error processing unity-lens-photos (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting configuration.

Errors were encountered while processing: untity-lens-photos
e: subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).


And it pretty much pops up everytime i try to upgrade, or install anything. This was after i finished updating the rest of my files. I have tried many things and read many threads. I am really lost right now, please help.



Also i have no access to a panel and i am currently trying everything in the terminal. Attempts to install a gnome panel have been halted by the error.

The issue is easy to fix. Just reinstall the package:


sudo apt-get --reinstall install unity-lens-photos

Simply removing the package shouldn't be done since it could leave behind files or directories that were not cleaned by the removal script. If you want to remove it, do it afterwards the reinstallation.
