It won't help for this upgrade. But it might help for the next one
between wheezy and jessie. So it might still be a good idea to switch
to interest-noawait for packages like doc-base and man-db which trigger
for many packages.

That would be a klumsy work-around.

Another thing that we should be considering is changing APT's default
to avoid running the triggers so often. I filed
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626599 some time ago
but it's not been activated yet :-(

I did a test-upgrade this weekend on my laptop's wife and I enabled
those APT's options:
DPkg::NoTriggers "true";
PackageManager::Configure "smart";
DPkg::ConfigurePending "true";
DPkg::TriggersPending "true";

And the upgrade went fine. I clearly saw the part of the upgrade where
libuuid-perl was unpacked before perl-base but no doc-base trigger was
activated in between IIRC.

I just tested several time following Raphael's advice on APT
configuration, and I'm afraid it doesn't close this #680626 bug I reported. :/

However, when I ldd /usr/bin/python, it seems to be linked against libssl,
so I'm wondering if this bug isn't related to the python package missing a
dependency against libssl. It also seem to be linked against libcrypto,
which is also missing when the dist-upgrade fails.

I can test another time and send more informations if you tell me what
output you might want to see included.

bert.

python2.7-minimal in wheezy does depend on libssl1.0.0. However that's
not enough to ensure unpack ordering.
