dpkg: statusexplanation |
|
I agree that this behaviour looks unusual. The system is operating as designed.
It is difficult to do much better because of the way that apt invokes dpkg - in particular, the new dpkg doesn't get to run until the next run after it has been installed, and apt generally instructs dpkg only to process specific packages. We don't want to make dpkg process these transitional trigger states for all packages in an apparently unrelated run because that would be very unexpected for someone using dpkg from the command line (eg to fix a broken system).
So I don't propose to do anything about this in dpkg. However, we must make sure that the dist-upgrader definitely runs dpkg --configure --pending after the upgrade. I will add a task to this bug to reflect this and adjust the bug title etc. appropriately. |

Binary package hint: dpkg
I did an 'apt-get upgrade', which completed successfully (and involved upgrading dpkg with some trigger processing changes). I then ran 'apt-get clean' and 'apt-get upgrade' again to remind myself of what packages had been held back due to unsatisfied dependencies. To my surprise, it still had something to do, which turned out to be trigger processing for initramfs-tools; I had expected that once 'apt-get upgrade' completed successfully it would have nothing left to do a second time. None of the packages I had installed appear to trigger initramfs-tools, so I can only assume that this happened due to the dpkg upgrade?
This could be a bug in apt; I'm not sure.
A transcript of the upgrade follows. The mention of man-db triggers is due to local modifications to man-db which I'm testing.

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-9-powerpc |
Due to the transitional arrangements for dpkg-triggers, it is possible for the dpkg runs done by apt to do a dist upgrade to leave unprocessed triggers. (This is only true for the one apt run which installs the new dpkg.)
To ensure that triggers are properly run, and the user is not surprised by unexpectedly leftover trigger processing, the dist upgrader should run dpkg --configure --pending at some appropriate point late in the upgrade cycle, if it does not do so already (I haven't checked). |
