Thanks for the unblock. [ Re dbus issue ] > Noted. Do we (still?) have a (reliable) way of reproducing the "dbus" > trigger issue? We didn't up to now (AFAIK), but there's now very valuable data from Karl Ljungkvist at #774124. I've been able to reproduce the issue with that status file and apt (over a clean debootstrap of jessie, and adding i386 as a foreign arch). And have been trying out several things: * It seems to affect both apt from jessie/sid and wheezy. :( apt gets into a state it cannot recover from by itself. * «dpkg --configure --pending» solves the issue. * Using dpkg --force-configure-any only fixes the issue partially, :( because apt does not notice that the package has been implicitly configured, and tries to configure the package again and dpkg exits with an error for that run, which apt does not like much either (as I feared). So I'd need to also change dpkg to not fail configuring an already configure package, or try to detect that specific case. This is the (trimmed) «dpkg -C» output for the broken status file: ,--- The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
