Tag: uses-implicit-await-trigger
Severity: warning
Check: triggers
Explanation: The listed trigger is present in the control file of the package.
The trigger is an await
trigger, which may not be obvious from its name.
.
The await
triggers place rather strong requirements on dpkg
that often lead
to trigger cycles due to changes in other packages.
.
If the package does not need the guarantees that dpkg
provides to await
triggers, please use the -noawait
variant of the trigger. This is often
the case for packages that use the trigger to compile a form of cache.
.
If the package does need the guarantees provided by dpkg
, then please
document the rationale in a comment above the trigger and use the
-await
variant of the trigger to avoid this warning.
