--- Begin Message ---Package: dochelp Version: 0.1.4 Severity: serious Hi, dochelp registers an "interest(-await)" trigger on /usr/share/doc-base. At the same time, it depends on findutils and base-passwd, which provides files in /usr/share/doc-base, triggering said interest trigger. """ The cycle is created because when findutils+base-passwd are put into the triggers-awaited state (because it triggers dochelp), then it cannot satisfy dependencies until it leaves that state. But: - for findutils+base-passwd to leave the triggers-awaited state, the trigger has to be resolved by dochelp, which cannot happen unless dochelp gets configured - to configure dochelp, its dependency on findutils+base-passwd have to be resolved which cannot happen unless findutils+base-passwd leave the triggers-awaited state This creates the cycle if the packages are installed in a certain order. """ If at all possible, please migrate to an "interest-noawait" trigger. This permits dpkg to defer the trigger to whenever it is convenient in the install/upgrade process and is often a much better choice. AFAICT, dochelp does not appear to be a package where deferring the trigger would cause major issues (I assumed it to be similar to man-db, which also uses an -noawait trigger). Admittedly, this particular case *might* be saved by the fact that findutils and base-passwd are essential. I haven't tested that. However, if any of the transitive dependencies of dochelp starts to provide a doc-base file it will trigger this as well. Given the purpose of doc-base, that seems rather likely which is why I have decided to keep this as "Severity: serious". Thanks, ~Niels
