Package: upgrade-system
Version: 1.7.1.1
Severity: important
Whenever packages skip their DPKG triggers, it leaves their DPKG status as
half-configured, which makes 'deborphan' exit with an error.
This, in turn, breaks upgrade-system's loop for purging no longer needed
packages.
The attached patch adds an exit code to the loop and a warning to the
administrator to execute 'dpkg --configure --pending' as root, to make DPKG run
through all pending triggers.

+ + Added exit code to the orphan purging loop. This has become necessary
+ because some packages skip their DPKG triggers, which then makes DPKG
+ mark those packages as partially configured, in turn making deborphan
