Package: distcc Version: 3.1-6 Severity: serious Hi!
This package introduces a trigger cycle, that while it might currently not be visible in most cases it will suddenly make dpkg abort (as per the spec) once #671711 is fixed in dpkg 1.17.17 to be uploaded later today. The problem is that distcc installs interests on /usr/lib/gcc which is provided by (say) gcc-4.9. Then distcc depends on libc6, depends on libgcc1, depends on libc6 and gcc-4.9-base. And gcc-4.9 depends on gcc-4.9-base and libc6 among others. When several of those are unpacked on the same run, and the trigger gets activated dpkg cannot proceed due to the trigger cycle and needs to bail out, which is not a very nice upgrade path. The solution to the above is to simply switch the triggers to their noawait variants. In this case from «interest» to «interest-noawait».
