Bug#190558: openoffice.org: circular dependencies between openoffice.org and openoffice.org-bin
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.0.2-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
When using FAI or a similar autoinstaller, many packages may be left
unconfigure because of circular dependencies between openoffice.org
packages. apt-get is called with a _long_ list of packages to install,
which are partly fet unconfigured if one of them fails to configure.
besides such circular dependencies violate debian policy:
Depends: blah
in blubb means package blah has to be configured before configuration
of blubb which is quite impossible if blah depends on blubb, though work
sometimes; in these cases, dpkgs behaviour get chaotic: sometimes it
works, sometimes not...
