Bug Description
manually run dpkg --configure -a does not help.
I am not able to install any packages.
TEST CASE:
1. when the system is in incosistent state (e.g. because of bad xine update) run: sudo dpkg --configure -a
2. verify that it does not behave corretly anymore and errors out
3. install the updated version of dpkg (with wget and dpkg -i)
wget https:/
dpkg -i dpkg_1.
4. verify that it installs correctly and runs some pending trigger actions
5. run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and verify that this works without error
