Bug#983788: Circular dependency

[Ingo Brückl <ib@wupperonline.de>]

Package: mplayer-gui
Version: 2:1.4+ds1-1

Since mplayer-skin-blue (1.13-2) there is a circular dependency.

mplayer-gui depends on mplayer-skin = mplayer-skin-blue which depends on
mplayer-gui.

Since the user should only install skins matching their mplayer-gui, it's
probably necessary to replace the dependency on mplayer-skin in mplayer-gui
with a recommendation, right?

So far, installing mplayer-gui without a skin resulted in an error message at
startup and the termination of mplayer-gui. So there was a dependency, but
the Subversion snapshot (and the next version) of the GUI has a built-in skin
that allows simple control and installing a skin is (just, but strongly)
advised.

Or is there another way to ensure the mutual dependency?
