I have a UCS 4.0-1 installation that has run very reliably until a recent attempt to install the 4.0-2 update. The 4.0-1 installation also had docker installed as per the Univention wiki article:- http://wiki.univention.com/index.php?title=Docker
Attempting to install the 4.0-2 update using the UMC failed with errors referencing the docker package being in a bad & inconsistent state (appcentre log below). But not before removing univention-server-master, univention-management-console etc etc

So the installation is now without a UMC, but also without the command line tools such as univention-remove, univention-install etc. Attempting to force removal of docker using dpkg results in:-
dpkg: error processing docker.io (--remove):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
docker.io
Attempting to use apt-get is met with:-
E: The package docker.io needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.Is there a way I can either remove or reinstall docker to progress from here?
