I can't update my system because it freezes while installing a third-party update (zramswap-enabler)!
Sometimes I get the following message in Update manager:
Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
E:The package zramswap-enabler needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
I tried to remove the zramswap-enabler, but it's impossible because I get the following message:
dpkg: error processing zramswap-enabler (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
zramswap-enabler
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Actually I would really reinstall that package, but it is unable to do it! If I remove this third-party PPA then the system is warning me about a very very serious problem.
So why can I not install/reinstall/remove/update this package and why freezes the updater if I try to update?
