intra-source-package-circular-dependency
The listed packages from the same source circularly depend (or pre-depend) on each other. This makes it difficult for tools to properly handle install/upgrade sequences. Furthermore this complicates automated removal of unused packages.
If possible, consider removing or reducing one of the depends.
Note: This check is limited to packages created from the same source package. Full circular dependencies between binaries from different source packages is beyond the scope of Lintian.
Severity: | warning |
Experimental: | false |
