Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

dpkg trigger cycle detection was an experimental feature in Debian, and subsequently Ubuntu, was has now been removed from dpkg. Therefore, this bug report is no longer valid and I'm marking it as such.

If you are interested in more information about this issue you could look at:

This may also have been fixed by this commit:

   - Add ureadahead to the long list of trigger-related Breaks as well

from dpkg version 1.17.23ubuntu1.
