Crucial for the awaiting package (I'll be updating the docs for 1.18.x). So, from your explanation, then in this case they are crucial for the activating packages yes, and the bug report against dbus can be closed. Given this, the only options seem to be to possibly change the --force-configure-any default to enabled (I'll try to test if this helps in the dbus situation) which I'd rather not do (but oh well), or disable the triggers dependency checks for jessie (and possibly later releases, if apt does not get fixed for jessie) and go back to the previous (broken, but known) behavior. :( Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
