Bug#865723: tex-common: please move to noawait triggers



Source: tex-common
Version: 6.06
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

I'm more and more annoyed by how many times the tex-comon triggers are
triggered in a single `apt upgrade` run.  Every one of them takes a few
seconds, and this is a quite fast system.  When I e.g. install tex
packages under qemu it takes forever to run them.  In today upgrade of
texlive-base+texlive-extra I can count 3 trigger runs, and that's after
the postinst of tex-base.

I doubt that you texlive stuff needs await triggers, so I suggest you to
switch to -noawait triggers (the change is simply
s/interest/interest-noawait/g in the triggers file); that way dpkg is
free to run the triggers whenever it sees better to run it, and can
coalesce multiple triggering, which usually means a single run near the
end of the installation process.

See deb-triggers(5) for more information about dpkg triggers.
