uses-implicit-await-trigger
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.
For more information please consult:
- the deb-triggers(5) manual page
