Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.20
Followup-For: Bug #483655
For my version of the bug (dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue:
Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.)
there is a partial work-around.
*If* you know what package it is stuck on, you can remove that
package with dpkg, then re-install. I don't know how to find
which package to remove, though. (For me, it was an obvious,
special case...)
I did this:
sudo dpkg --configure nvi
dpkg: error processing nvi (--configure):
package nvi is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status `triggers-awaited')
Errors were encountered while processing:
nvi
$ sudo dpkg --triggers-only -a
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4'
failed.
Aborted
