<lisandro> DonKult: remmeber the phonon-backend-[xine,vlc] problem svuorela
and I were having?
<lisandro> well, I fixed the circular dependency and, contrary to what I
though at first, it worked
<lisandro> but now jcristau is asking me how can this be happening, and I was
justogoing to reply him: I don't know, we may need to ask apt guys :)
<DonKult> the only thing I remember is that -xine is gone in wheezy, but if
everything works thats okay with me ;)
<lisandro> so, it seems that circular dependencies are making the squeeze →
wheezy upgrade fail
<DonKult> as said earlier, changes in the dependency tree can have a dramatic
effect on the scoring and therefore on which package wins a one and one fight.
So everything is possible.
<lisandro> I just hitted another one when I fixed the qt stuff
<lisandro> ok
