Package: dpkg
Version: 1.18.14
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
It seems the bug is in dpkg 1.18.11 and above. I was suffering from
some sort of broken packages. I shared my issue at
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/323817/debian-strech-update-broken-seems-buggy-dpkg
. It took quite some time but it seems that dpkg at least 1.18.14 is
somewhat broken/buggy in its implementation. In dpkg 1.18.10 I am able
to fix the broken packages. These happened a few more times. I did run
a few checks
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/324151/how-to-find-out-half-configured-broken-packages-in-debian
but found nothing untoward.
I would update to 1.18.15 as and when it comes to testing.
