Package: debhelper Version: 8.1.6 Severity: normal I noticed that a simple package install triggers the menu trigger twice: ---- Preparing to replace zim 0.52-1 (using .../archives/zim_0.52-1_all.deb) ... Unpacking replacement zim ... Processing triggers for shared-mime-info ... Processing triggers for menu ... Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme ... Processing triggers for python-support ... Processing triggers for gnome-menus ... Setting up zim (0.52-1) ... Processing triggers for python-support ... Processing triggers for menu ... ----
The first one is because of the file trigger that dpkg activates. The second one is because update-menus is called in the postinst. And update-menus runs "dpkg-trigger --by-package=menu /usr/share/menu" if it sees that the dpkg lock is active. This is obviously counter-productive. I thus believe that debhelper should no longer add the snippets for simple menu files. Even oldstable has a menu with triggers support, thus I believe you don't even have to care with backwards compatibility and/or partial upgrades.
