Hi, I could use some help with getting Webmin to work. My apt-get upgrade command keeps hanging at unpacking webmin 17.30
Uninstalling does not work because of
installArchives() failed: dpkg: error processing package webmin (–remove):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal
Errors were encountered while processing:
webmin
Error in function:
and reinstall does not work because then the package gets stuck at unpacking…
Going in circles..
Please help

i tried how it says to do it but it keeps saying “sudo: unable to resolve host server1.example.com” could that be because it isn’t that?
