Hm, since it's much more likely that updmap-sys fails, I'd rather say the consumer package is texlive-base-bin, and 'baz' will depend on it, anyway. > [1] Only mostly, because packages 'foo' depends on might be > deconfigured, without that affecting the "configured" state of > 'foo', IIRC. This is more a problem: I think that if the trigger fails and the package that runs it is put into state failed-config (or even if it's put into failed-config for non-trigger reasons), this should affect all packages that Depend on it.
