The following packages are in a mess due to serious problems during
installation.  They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages
that depend on them) to function properly:
  brscan4              Brother Scanner Driver


MUON INFO

Package: brscan4

Error: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should 
reinstall it before attempting a removal.



Am i doing something wrong?
