Bug#263816: acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#263816: Circular dependency libgcj5 <-> libgcj5-common)

["David A. Cobb" <Superbiskit@cox.net>]

Matthias:
	Thanks, but I only find "libgcj4" part of GCC-3.3 in testing-proposed-updates.  I am (trying to) install GCC-3.4, 
with "libgcj5".  
	I assume one of these tools would let me modify the .deb to reflect the change locally (?) and proceed.  But I don't know which one.

MfG
