Dear all, I am having a look at how to document triggers. In order to simplify the explanation and re-use more easily material from the file above, I think that we would benefit from documenting the dpkg states for a package. The manual page of dpkg-query indicates: - Not-installed - Config-files - Half-installed - Unpacked - Half-configured - Triggers-awaiting - Triggers-pending - Installed The documentation in /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/triggers.txt.gz also mentions config-failed. I will look for a comprehensive list but if you already have the answer one please let me know. I wonder where to add this information: either in chapter 3 (binary packages) or chapter 6 (Package maintainer scripts and installation procedure). What do you think ?
