Your statement is confusing. You're perfectly right, that soprano-daemon can
not work without libsoprano4. Therefor I asked you, to put libsoprano4 in the
dependency list for soprano-daemon. You do even install binaries to /usr/bin
that depend on libsoprano.
However there's the problem with the circular dependency. Since soprano-daemon
must depend on libsoprano4, you can only delete the opposite dependecy, from
libsoprano4 to soprano-daemon.
If libsoprano4 also depends on soprano-daemon, then there's no reason to build
two separate packages in the first place and you merge them into one package.
