Subject: Driver Install Conundrum

I want to get rid of this:



wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg -C

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*


wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg*-r *brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64
dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64

wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg -r brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64*.deb*
dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by
quoting the names of the files they come in


wayne@8-Core:~$ sudo dpkg *-P *brscan4
dpkg: error processing brscan4 (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
brscan4


wayne@8-Core:~$ ls

brscan4-0.2.4-0.amd64

Any Ideas?*
