I've prepared a minimal test case for the dpkg functional tests, and a quick patch solving this, which checks that dependencies are satisfied before processing the trigger, and otherwise deferring the package to be trigproc()ed. I'm running the entire pkg-tests now, and will be doing some cleanup before pushing this, will also look into preparing a stable update later on. In any case I think you'll need to workaround this in your package anway, as users are not usually required to have the latest stable updates before dist-upgrading. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
