For form's sake, here's a stable release update proposal which I've distilled from this bug:
Impact: Once certain packages have been installed, dpkg will always fail with "process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed." The affected package can be determined using the 'dpkg --audit' command, but this is not typically obvious to end users, so the net result is at best obscure errors on any upgrade. Development branch fix: Debian bug 370017, dpkg 1.3.21, merged in Edgy as dpkg 1.3.21ubuntu1; see https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/blt/+bug/46530/comments/18. Patch: http://librarian.launchpad.net/4900695/dpkg.diff per Adam above. mdz approved this on IRC, and I do also. -- process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. https://launchpad.net/bugs/46530 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
