Hi can any assist with this error : dpkg: error processing package percona-server-server-5.6 (–remove):

Here is what I did:
sudo apt-get remove percona-server-server-5.6

dpkg: error processing package percona-server-server-5.6 (–remove):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal
Errors were encountered while processing:
percona-server-server-5.6
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have also tried is sudo apt-get -f install but it keeps getting on the same error: dpkg: error processing package percona-server-server-5.6 (–remove):

Anyone encountered the same error?

I’m using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Here is what’s in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb [url]http://repo.percona.com/apt[/url] trusty main
deb-src [url]http://repo.percona.com/apt[/url] trusty main

I have no clue on what to do next. Any input highly appreciated !

Have you tried dpkg --remove instead? You can also add --force-remove-reinstreq but do it with caution.

To read about these options do:
