Package: elmer
Version: 5.5.0.svn.4190.dfsg-3
Severity: important

Hello Debian Science Maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between elmer and elmer-common:

elmer 	        :Depends: elmer-common (= 5.5.0.svn.4190.dfsg-3)
elmer-common 	:Depends: elmer (>= 5.5.0.svn.4190.dfsg-3)

Circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to get rid of them.

See threads
