# `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.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
