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

It's not excessive, it's by design. As soon as you unpacked files on the
system, the corresponding file triggers are activated and have to be
processed again.
The fact that the configuration phase fails is orthogonal to this. Thus
I'm closing this bug.
