package ncurses-term 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: package ncurses-term is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')

I thought this was suppose to be fixed. I tried to install lbs package on my epson XP-620 and download the drivers using the Ubuntu software center to load the 3rd party drivers from epson as I always have (that works great under 14.04 after installing the lsb package prior to downloading the newest/same old Linux drivers from epson that still work. I had all kinds of box's pop up with errors so I stopped the install that was stuck anyway. I rebooted and loaded any and all updates, there were none. I then went back to the epson page and loaded the lsb and then continued to the epson drivers through the Ubuntu Software Center it told me I still had errors but it was still trying to ask me which driver to load so I picked the right one and it did load it and I was able to print out a test page. I almost stopped and reloaded 14.04.

Ok I forgot to check to see what printed when I hit the print test page . It sounded like it was printing it made all the right sounds like it was printing but it

 {[printed a blank page}].

 and I just tried to print this page and the same thing happened it acted like it was printing but the printed page was blank. I changed the all of the ink cartridges a few weeks ago and have printed about 10 to 20 pages with less than half text and a few graphics and it worked fine then. I have a headache.
