Bug#339930: kgeography-data has circular Depends on kgeography
Package: kgeography-data
Version: 0.4-2
Severity: important
Hello Debian Edu Developers,
There is a circular dependency between kgeography-data and kgeography:
kgeography-data:Depends: kgeography (= 0.4-2)
kgeography:Depends: kgeography-data (= 0.4-2), kdelibs4c2 (>= 4:3.4.2-1), libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.16), libaudio2, libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.3.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.2), libice6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libidn11 (>= 0.5.18), libjpeg62, libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.8rel), libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.5), libsm6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.2-3), libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxi6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxinerama1, libxrandr2 | xlibs (>> 4.3.0), libxrender1 (>> 1:0.9.0-1), libxt6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1)
Circular dependencies known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to get rid of them.
Since kgeography-data is a data package, it is quite likely it does not need
actually to depend on kgeography and removing this dependency would
remove the circular dependency, so I would suggest you do so.
