Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.25
Severity: minor

hi folks,

i ran a dpkg -i *.deb against a deb that i could not install on my
system, which of course fails. the triggers however get processed anyway, 
which seems excessive:

Preparing to replace mnemosyne 1.2.1-1 (using mnemosyne_1.2.1-2_all.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement mnemosyne ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mnemosyne:
 mnemosyne depends on python-support (>= 0.90.0); however:
  Version of python-support on system is 0.8.4lenny1.
dpkg: error processing mnemosyne (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for python-support ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Processing triggers for menu ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mnemosyne
