[Bug 1558426] Re: package man-db 2.7.5-1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned

[Colin Watson]

dpkg: cycle found while processing triggers:
 chain of packages whose triggers are or may be responsible:
  bamfdaemon -> bamfdaemon
 packages' pending triggers which are or may be unresolvable:
  software-center: /usr/share/locale-langpack
  man-db: /usr/share/man
  libc-bin: ldconfig
  bamfdaemon: /usr/share/applications
  initramfs-tools: update-initramfs
  libglib2.0-0:amd64: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
  libglib2.0-0:i386: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

I think man-db is/was the victim of a dpkg bug here, so reassigning.

** Package changed: man-db (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu)
