Bug Description
[Impact]
During system upgrades, triggers for gconf2 might activate too early, while some of its dependencies aren't configured yet. This happens several times in a loop and stops the upgrade in the end.
The attached debdiffs fix this issue by changing interest to interest-noawait in debian/
In addition, the debdiff for Bionic also contains a fix for FTBFS (bug 1834211).
[Test Case]
Triggers for gconf2 are usually activated on changes in /usr/share/
[Regression Potential]
None, interest-noawait trigger is known to work well in other packages (comment 31).
[Other Info]
Even if Cosmic goes EOL next month, the fix for it might be worth it for release upgrades.
[Original Description]
When upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04Beta (2016-03-01), this error occured, alongside many others related to systemd and gnome.
Notice that despite all warnings and errors, finally, the system remained functional.
