I'm trying to install aptitude package by using the command:
sudo apt-get install aptitude
but installation is getting terminated and is returning the following errors:
dpkg: error processing package distro-info-data (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration.
Errors were encountered while processing:
distro-info-data
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Please can anyone tell me how to fix this error?
16.04 apt dpkg
