Stuck on "Unpacking papirus-icon-theme"

[TheRealFanjin]

When I do sudo apt upgrade it always gets stuck on Unpacking papirus-icon-theme (20210101-4888+pkg21~ubuntu20.04.1) over (20201201-4800+pkg21~ubuntu20.04.1) .... It's been like that for about an hour already, and nothing has changed. I can't install anything either, because when I do it always wants to unpack it. What do I do?
`
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 with xfce

Uninstall papirus-icon-theme with sudo apt purge papirus-icon-theme and then install it again.

This is the output when I try to uninstall:

dpkg: error processing package papirus-icon-theme (--remove):
 package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
Errors were encountered while processing:
 papirus-icon-theme
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

And when I try reinstalling it just wants to unpack it again

[gregorydk]

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq papirus-icon-theme
sudo apt install papirus-icon-theme

I would also advise you to always upgrade to the latest Ubuntu, in this case Ubuntu 20.10.

If you have problem with ppa you can use alternate install:
wget -qO- https://git.io/papirus-icon-theme-install | sh
