Hi Guillem, could you have a look at this bug report, please? Somehow this looks like an issue in dpkg, if it triggers a package which is in an inconsistent state.
But maybe we just made a mistake in our use of triggers in systemd: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/systemd.triggers https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/systemd.postinst#n15 In any case, your input would be very much appreciated.
