[Bug 1828639] Re: Unlooping all the trigger loops!!!!!

[Brian Murray]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dpkg into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/1.19.0.5ubuntu2.2
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Quite a few bugs in triggers can cause distro upgrades to abort.

  [Test case]
  For cosmic -> disco, install ubuntu-mate-desktop and then upgrade.

  For other releases, there might not be any test cases

  We should at least run some upgrade tests for a system with ubuntu-
  desktop installed.

  [Regression potential]
  New trigger bugs could of course be caused by the changes.

  [Original bug report]

  Encountered when upgrading from cosmic to disco with ubuntu-mate-
  desktop installed.
