Lintian tag: intra-source-package-circular-dependency
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
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.
Please refer to Binary Dependencies - Depends, Recommends, Suggests,
Enhances, Pre-Depends (Section 7.2) in the Debian Policy Manual for
details.
