Comment 20 for bug 1010234

I did the same stupidity, installed 32 bit bandwidhtD deb using USC on 64bit xubuntu.
Resulting in the same problem.

I have synaptic installed before the incident, but it failed to fix the problem, resulting in this:

dpkg: error processing bandwidthd:i386 (--purge):
 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 bandwidthd:i386
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

then nothing, the problem persist. Is there any other way to fix this?
