ImportError: Unable to import libaugeas!
The _dlopen() function uses ctypes.util.find_library(), which is a
fundamentally broken API. This is the culprit, not dpkg.
ldconfig is one of the triggers of libc-bin. It seems that its
invocation is now postponed too late.
ldconfig is declared as a noawait trigger, so dpkg is allowed to
configure the triggering package immediately, without waiting for the
trigger to be run.
This declaration is correct, because running ldconfig shouldn't have any
effect on software functionality, unless there's a bug somewhere else.
