Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.3 Severity: normal Hello maintainers,
The sequence of commands leading for a problem (high-level explanation: installing gawk, mawk is autoremoved as not needed anymore): 1) dpkg --install --no-triggers //var/cache/apt/archives/libsigsegv2_2.9-4_i386.deb 2) dpkg --install --no-triggers //var/cache/apt/archives/gawk_1:4.0.1+dfsg-1_i386.deb 3) dpkg --remove --no-triggers mawk At 3), dpkg refuses to proceed: | dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of mawk: | base-files depends on awk; however: | Package awk is not installed. | Package mawk which provides awk is to be removed. | Package gawk which provides awk awaits trigger processing. | dpkg: error processing mawk (--remove): | dependency problems - not removing >From triggers.txt (section "apt and aptitude") I conclude that it's fine for a high-level package manager to expect this sequence of commands to work, but please correct me if I'm wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-7 ii libc6 2.13-7 ii libselinux1 2.0.98-1.1 ii tar 1.26-4 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20110809-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 dpkg recommends no packages.
