This is interesting. It sliped my testing of the change ([1]), as I installed the package directly via dpkg, where mutt.postinst and the doc-base triggers are run in the "correct" order (first mutt postinst, then the triggered stuff): % sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/pbuilder/result/mutt_1.5.22-2_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 226556 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../result/mutt_1.5.22-2_amd64.deb ... Unpacking mutt (1.5.22-2) over (1.5.22-1) ... Setting up mutt (1.5.22-2) ... update-alternatives: updating alternative /usr/bin/mutt-org because link group mutt has changed slave links Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.6-1) ...

Registering documents with scrollkeeper... Processing triggers for menu (2.1.46) ... In your (and later my) use of apt, doc-base is triggered *before* update-alternatives has created the proper links to the documentation and thus doc-base barfs about missing files (w/o useful message, but still). @dpkg/apt maintainers: I thought triggers should be run *after* the package is fully installed and only the order of the triggers is not guaranteed?
