This error is getting quite famous and incase you encounter it, then here is the solution to it :-
sudo apt-get upgrade
and you get this,
and if you try this in case you’re feeling lucky
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all apport
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled: dpkg: warning: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal (Reading database ... 534968 files and directories currently installed.)

Tired of solving this error, just run this :-
sudo dpkg --purge path/package.deb sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
That’s it, it should get resolved by now.
