[Bug 809223] Re: package startupmanager 1.9.13-5 failed to install/upgrade: package startupmanager is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Thank you, that was the right file. It looks like "apt" is the culprit.
It installs both packages entirely and then tries to configure it a
second time for no good reason. It's weird because apt usually does
unpack + configure in 2 steps, and here it looks like it called "dpkg
-i" directly for those 2 packages (see extract below). Thus I'm
reassigning this bug.
