---Problem Description---
dpkg crashing when apt-get upgrade got interrupted during "python-pyasn1" and it couldn't recovered

Tried to recover by following way and also tried by rebooting,
# apt-get clean

# apt-get update

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

It's unclear to me why this package should have gotten into a state requiring reinstallation, and it's unlikely that we will have enough debugging information here to figure it out.

For recovering, the advice here applies:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/148715/how-to-fix-package-is-in-a-very-bad-inconsistent-
state-error

in particular, sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq python-pyasn1; sudo apt-get install python-pyasn1

Your bug report also shows a dpkg crash due to an invalid free. This would be something we should also look at, but we would need a full symbolic backtrace to debug it. Is the crash reproducible for you? Can you install the apport package and trigger the crash, capturing the core to /var/crash so we can debug it?

Unfortunately, this is not a symbolic backtrace, and I don't think we have
the means to reliably convert this into one. Does this mean that the
problem is not reproducible for you, and you did not happen to capture a
crash in /var/crash?

Given the month-long silence, we'll have to assume that this is no longer reproducible. Closing out for now.

Thanks.
