Hi, Sorry for the delayed responds time on our part. At first glance, this appears to be #771730, which caused dpkg to report trigger cycles that did not exist. This has been fixed in Jessie now. The work around for a system affected by this is to run: dpkg --configure --pending Possibly repeated with "apt-get -f install" interleaved in between. Unfortunately, your system might be in stuck with an old APT plus the "broken" dpkg. I recommend that you ensure dpkg is upgraded as soon as possible to avoid hitting this bug again followed by finishing the upgrade of APT. Once these have been upgraded, you should be able to continue the upgrade normally from there. At the current time, most of our automated upgrade tests are green regardless of whether you upgrade apt+dpkg first or not. But until recently, the dpkg+apt in Jessie had several deficiencies (of which you have experienced at least one). Please note that we have a few known (actual) trigger cycles. These currently involve gitweb and postgresql-common. Should you hit one of those, the work around is to run dpkg --configure --pending and then repeat the upgrade again. Apologies for the mess and thanks for taking the time to report it, ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
