Okay I just found that the blocking point was debian-security-support:

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.
