Hi! To be able to fix dpkg bug #671711, we should first reduce or completely eliminate the possibilty for triggered packages needing its configured dependencies, not ending up being in triggers-awaited status awaiting on them.
For packages installing triggers for things that are not necessary for the triggering package to operate correctly, this is pretty easy, by switching those triggers to their noawait forms: interest → interest-noawait activate → activate-noawait supported by the dpkg in stable, which in addition should produce easier upgrade paths. Examples of this are man pages (#707129) or info documents (#707133), others could be menu, desktop or dictionary triggers, but that depends on how the triggering packages make use of them. I'd be glad if people who know any package registering triggers could mention if they think those could be switched. Reporting bugs afterwards or even handling the switch directly for those would be much appreciated. :) Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
