Okay I just found that the blocking point was debian-security-support: W A acpi-fakekey 0.142-5 0.142-5 u acpi-support 0.142-5 0.142-5 W A acpi-support-base 0.142-5 0.142-5 W apt-file 2.5.4 2.5.4 W A autopoint 0.19.3-1 0.19.3-1 u A cpp-4.9-doc 4.9.1-3 4.9.1-3 T debian-security-support 2014.09.07 2014.09.07 W A gcc-4.9-doc 4.9.1-3 4.9.1-3 u gettext 0.19.3-1 0.19.3-1 W A gettext-base 0.19.3-1 0.19.3-1 W A gettext-doc 0.19.3-1 0.19.3-1 T A libc-bin 2.19-12 2.19-12 W locales 2.19-12 2.19-12 W A openjdk-7-doc 7u71-2.5.3-1 7u71-2.5.3-1 W A python-requests 2.4.3-2 2.4.3-2 u vim 2:7.4.488-1 2:7.4.488-1 W A vim-common 2:7.4.488-1 2:7.4.488-1 W A vim-doc 2:7.4.488-1 2:7.4.488-1 u A vim-nox 2:7.4.488-1 2:7.4.488-1 W A vim-runtime 2:7.4.488-1 2:7.4.488-1 I could dpkg --configure debian-security-support, which already solved the triggers-aWaited for many other packagees,... and then another dpkg --configure -a configured all the unconfigured leftovers. Guillem,... any ideas whether/how these kills (or pressing Ctrl-C) affects the dpkg status DB and other metadata? Should I be worried and look whether I need to import backups? At least at a first glance, everything looks normal again, though, in aptitude. Cheers, Chris.
