** Description changed: - When upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04Beta (2016-03-01), this error occured, alongside many others related to systemd and gnome. + [Impact] + + During system upgrades, triggers for gconf2 might activate too early, + while some of its dependencies aren't configured yet. This happens + several times in a loop and stops the upgrade in the end. + + The attached debdiffs fix this issue by changing interest to interest- + noawait in debian/gconf2.triggers file. The triggers will now activate + near the end of upgrade. + + In addition, the debdiff for Bionic also contains a fix for FTBFS (bug + 1834211). + + [Test Case] + + Triggers for gconf2 are usually activated on changes in + /usr/share/GConf/gsettings folder, so the main Ubuntu edition (with + GNOME) is most suitable for reproducing the issue. To reproduce it, + install that edition, apply all updates, then try upgrading to the next + release. + + [Regression Potential] + + None, interest-noawait trigger is known to work well in other packages + (comment 31). + + [Other Info] + + Even if Cosmic goes EOL next month, the fix for it might be worth it for + release upgrades. + + [Original Description] + + When upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04Beta (2016-03-01), this error occured, alongside many others related to systemd and gnome. Notice that despite all warnings and errors, finally, the system remained functional.
