Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.5 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Whilst installing updates (using apper) my installation got interrupted (It crashed/hung). I wasn't sure whether or not this had completed and soon forgot about it. However, a day later I couldn't get tomboy to start, and when I tried opening it in a terminal, it told me there was a missing dependency. On attempting to install this with apt-get install, it told me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a , at which it resumed the installation and sorted out the original problem (with tomboy). For users who are not comfortable using the terminal or are beginners they may not realise that an installation has been interrupted and realise that this problem has occured. It would be a good if debian could check whether this was the case (maybe on startup, or at regular intervals) and request users to fix this. I'm not sure where the best place to fix this is so thought dpkg would be the best place to file this bug report/enhancement request. Cheers. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-5 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libselinux1 2.2.2-1 ii tar 1.26+dfsg-8 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 dpkg recommends no packages.
