It won't help for this upgrade. But it might help for the next one between wheezy and jessie. So it might still be a good idea to switch to interest-noawait for packages like doc-base and man-db which trigger for many packages. > So maybe making libuuuid-perl to conflict with doc-base << 0.10.3 as > suggested in #652638 will be a better idea? Honestly, I don't know. That would be a klumsy work-around. Another thing that we should be considering is changing APT's default to avoid running the triggers so often. I filed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626599 some time ago but it's not been activated yet :-( I did a test-upgrade this weekend on my laptop's wife and I enabled those APT's options: DPkg::NoTriggers "true"; PackageManager::Configure "smart"; DPkg::ConfigurePending "true"; DPkg::TriggersPending "true"; And the upgrade went fine. I clearly saw the part of the upgrade where libuuid-perl was unpacked before perl-base but no doc-base trigger was activated in between IIRC.
