I expected packages to install. When I try to do so via apt-get install I get:

dpkg: error processing package libqca2-plugin-ossl:amd64 (--configure):
 package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
 reinstall it before attempting configuration
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have also been experiencing other weird errors with programs such as Kdenlive.
