Um, Steve, something is wrong in your analysis: base-files is fully configured before bash is unpacked, and when _unpacking_ bash it tries to process the trigger (i mean, there's no "Setting up bash" in front of it; but maybe dpkg processes triggers before printing that).
The odd thing here is that apt should be calling dpkg with --no- triggers, unless we're doing TriggersPending, ConfigurePending, or the last step in the run - and that's not happening AFAICT. @Kees long stretch, but maybe you have a dpkg.log from that? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750465 Title: upgrade attempting to process triggers out of order (package plymouth- theme-ubuntu-text 0.9.2-3ubuntu17 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1750465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
