I'm checking right now if this is actually a trigger cycle, or if it's a problem with dpkg itself, which is checking cycles before depenendencies, and might be causing this. Something I didn't commit at the time because it was getting into infinite loops otherwise, but maybe that was with some other implementation, cannot remember now, doing the change and running some tests. Will be reassigning to the correct package, later today. Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Will be reassigning to the correct package, later today. Because I'm pretty sure this is not a problem in man-db, but I've not been feeling well today, I'm preemtively reassigning it to dpkg for now (to not block man-db from migrating), go to sleep, and finish the testing with the patched dpkg tomorrow. If this happens to end up being a problem somewhere else, I'll reassign accordingly.
