[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#772864: mcollective: Trigger cycle causes dpkg to fail processing

[Guillem Jover]

Package: mcollective
Version: 2.6.0+dfsg-2
Severity: serious

Hi!

This package can get involved in a trigger cycle. The problem is that
it installs interests on /usr/share/mcollective/plugins with files there
provided by mcollective-common, which is directly or transitively
depended on by mcollective itself.


A solution to the above is to simply switch the triggers to their
noawait variants, in this case from «interest» to «interest-noawait»,
as long as they are not critical for the activating packages, which I
cannot tell here. Otherwise a fix might unfortunatly be more involved.

Thanks,
Guillem
