Cache is needed to display icons, not to process package installation.

For programs like ldconfig it is more complicated.

Suppose that we will implement one time triggers and move ldconfig
there. Now let's have a packages:

liba
b (requires liba)
c PreReq: b (e. g. Requires(post))

Nowadays you can install all at once using ldconfig is called by each
shared library, b is working when c starts b inside script.

With post transaction triggers, a b c would not be installable during a
single transaction and the installation batch has to be split to two
transactions:
a b
c
