Package: man-db
Version: 2.8.3-2
Severity: normal
Due to a bad $TERM I got my "apt-get upgrade" break down, "too many errors"
in man-db.
When trying to fix that, I got (error messages manually translated -
fixed the problem first):
# apt-get -f install
dpkg: Cycle in triggers found:
Chain of packages, which triggers might be the culprit:
man-db -> man-db
required triggers of packages that can't be resolved:
man-db: /usr/share/man
libc-bin: ldconfig
dpkg: Error while configureing package man-db (--configure):
Triggers build a loop, aborted
A manual "dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/man-db-*" did fix the
basic problem, of course, so that the "apt-get -f install" was able to
recover.
