Hello,

For the development of an application under Symfony 3.2.2, I need to install the PHP intl extension.
(I'm on Ubuntu 16.04)

When I execute this command: sudo apt-get install php-intl

I get the following error message: 

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done
php-intl is already the newest version (1:7.0+35ubuntu6).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 317 not upgraded.
1 partially installed or removed.
Need to get 0 o/582 kB from archives.
After this operation, 0 o of additional disk space will be used.
Do you wish to continue? [Y/n] y
dpkg: error processing package dbconfig-common (--configure) :
 the package is in a really inconsistent state; you should
 reinstall it before attempting to configure it.
Errors were encountered while processing: 
 dbconfig-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


It seems that dbconfig-common is used for the configuration of my MySQL database.

Should I reinstall the package itself or phpMyAdmin entirely?
If you have the right command lines it would be great :)

Thank you.

    Hello,

    The fact that the package is in an inconsistent state suggests that your current installation is shaky. Start by updating and installing 
    aptitude
    : 

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get install aptitude
    sudo aptitude update
    sudo aptitude safe-upgrade


    Make sure all packages are up to date, not frozen, and not blocked. Furthermore, when you run the 
    aptitude
    command, you should not see a "red banner" at the bottom of the screen, and if you do 
    uUg
    , there should be no frozen/held packages and everything should be up to date (
    q
    to quit).

    Good luck!

      Hello,

      Before your reply, I had found a solution.
      I had already read about the aptitude trick, but I still had an issue with dbconfig-common.

      Thank you for taking the time to help me anyway :)

      No worries, thanks for your feedback :-) If the issue with dbconfig-common persists and you want to resolve it, feel free to open a new topic.

      Best of luck!

    After several different attempts, I found a solution: 

     sudo apt-get install --reinstall dbconfig-common
     sudo apt-get install php-intl
     sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin


    I had to uninstall phpmyadmin and then reinstall dbconfig-common afterwards.
