Bug#774493: wheezy->jessie: trigger loop gconf2 -> initramfs-tools
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: serious
Heya, I've just upgraded a family laptop from wheezy to jessie. The general
experience has been very good and quick, with no noticeable breakages. The only
problem is that the first "apt-get dist-upgrade" (after an "apt-get upgrade",
as recommended by the release notes) failed due to a trigger loop. Here are the
details (messages translated to English by hand, as the upgraded laptop had an
Italian locale) :
configuring libdevmapper1.02.1:amd64 (2:1.02.90-2)
trigger loop detected
potentially responsible packages:
gconf2 -> initramfs-tools
awaiting triggers that might be non resolvable
libc-bin: ldconfig
initramfs-tools: update-initramfs
gconf2: /usr/share/gconf/schemas
dpkg: error while processing libc-bin (--configure):
trigger loop, giving up
(If needed, I have a picture of the tty console on my phone, which I can
provide.)
After a few "dpkg --configure --pending" / "apt-get -f install" the problem
went away and I managed to succesfully complete "apt-get dist-upgrade".
Cheers.
