** Description changed: [Impact] dist-upgrade from artful to bionic fails with attached tarball [Test case] artful: 1. Install new desktop-file-utils 2. check that dist-upgrade works bionic: 1.

[Regression potential] Packages installing desktop files to /usr/share/applications won't get put in triggers-awaited state due to d-f-u. [Other info] Just fixing bionic makes an apt dist-upgrade work (not sure about do-release-upgrade); but it might not work in other circumstances I guess, so it might make sense to upload the fix to older releases.
