Not quite. What dpkg is saying here (slightly misleading terminology arising from internal status names aside) is "you asked me to configure a package that's already configured, and I can't do that". This generally means that apt has failed to accurately predict what state it has put dpkg into, and as far as I know this kind of thing is more or less always an apt bug, so reassigning there.
