Full log, including dpkg trigger debug info:
https://people.debian.org/~anbe/864597/tgd.101-dfu89-smi89.log
it used for jessie:
desktop-file-utils_0.22-1+deb8noawait_amd64.deb
shared-mime-info_1.3-1+deb8noawait_amd64.deb
and for stretch:
desktop-file-utils_0.23-1+test_amd64.deb
shared-mime-info_1.8-1+test_amd64.deb
(all with s/interest/interest-noawait/ in debian/triggers)
