Package: libapt-pkg-perl
Version: 0.1.29+b2
Severity: normal
Hello,
It looks like (according to a brief grep through the source) AptPkg hasn't been
updated since dpkg gained triggers.

libc6 is version 2.19-18+deb8u7
libc6 is in state Installed
libc-bin is version 2.19-18+deb8u7
libc-bin has no CurrentState (wat) at ./test line 16.
Setting Dpkg::NoTriggers may help make reproducing this bug easier.
The (untested!) beginnings of a suitable patch (which fixes only my problem)
is attached. I'm also tempted to suggest that perhaps it would be better to
return "Other" or "Unknown" instead of undef for unknown CurrentState
values, but of course that's not my call. :)
