Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.3
Severity: normal
Hello maintainers,
The sequence of commands leading for a problem (high-level explanation:
installing gawk, mawk is autoremoved as not needed anymore):
1) dpkg --install --no-triggers
//var/cache/apt/archives/libsigsegv2_2.9-4_i386.deb
2) dpkg --install --no-triggers
//var/cache/apt/archives/gawk_1:4.0.1+dfsg-1_i386.deb
3) dpkg --remove --no-triggers mawk
At 3), dpkg refuses to proceed:
| dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of mawk:
| base-files depends on awk; however:
| Package awk is not installed.
| Package mawk which provides awk is to be removed.
| Package gawk which provides awk awaits trigger processing.
| dpkg: error processing mawk (--remove):
| dependency problems - not removing
>From triggers.txt (section "apt and aptitude") I conclude that it's fine for a
high-level package manager to expect this sequence of commands to
work, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Given that packages in triggers-awaited status will not satisfy
dependencies, the behavior shown looks completely appropriate. Before
doing 3) you'd need to do a «dpkg --configure --pending», as it's
mentioned in the triggers.txt file. Closing this now.
Thanks,
