Sure:

  $ apt-get install gap-core
  # Everything is fine.
  $ dpkg -C
  # Activate the trigger, thus getting into the cycle.
  $ apt-get install --reinstall gap-libs
  # Show the current state.
  $ dpkg -C
  # Detect the trigger cycle.
  $ dpkg --configure --pending
  # A second one to recover from the previous.
  $ dpkg --configure --pending
