package lsb-security 9.20160110ubuntu0.2 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration

[Bob Haberkost]

I leave only acknowledgement that I am not fully competent to discern linux issues. My hope is that the additional debug information will provide the details that I can't see. I am relatively competent and comfortable with sysadm-level unix activities, so I'm sure I can execute instructions if provided.
