I also ran in to this problem when I tried to upgrade my system from precise to quantal. After hitting this bug and having the upgrade fail I wasn't able to fix my system easily with confidence that I'd fixed things, so I had to revert to backups. Fortunately this also means that I can definitively say that the oddities/errors in /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File existed prior to starting the upgrade. I'll attach a copy of that file from my backup of my system as it was when running precise prior to the upgrade.
I noticed a couple of oddities in the file: * one line says "/@OLD_MODULES_BASE_PATH@/immodules libgtk-3-0", which looks like a variable wasn't expanded properly somewhere. * there are a number of lines that are the same other than having ":i386" on the end, which seems to be the main problem identified in this bug. It's noticeable that all the strange lines seem to relate to gtk and co. I guess the question is what the right fix should be: it looks like these lines should be tidied up somehow, but I don't know whether that would be better done by the upgrade installer or by a fix to the gtk packages to edit the oddities out. ** Attachment added: "/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File prior to quantal upgrade" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1017031/+attachment/3442371/+files/File -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017031 Title: dpkg: error: duplicate file trigger interest for filename `/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules' and package `libgtk2.0-0:amd64' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1017031/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
