I just bought a new (used) laptop that came with Ubuntu 16.04LTS pre-installed. I tried to update the system and I'm getting this error:

 

"dpkg: error processing package libexiv2-14:amd64 (--configure):
 package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
 reinstall it before attempting configuration"

 

Anyone let me know how to fix this?

looks like the system is 64  bit. so you do not need that part of the command. ":amd64" it will install 64 bit version by default

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.
