Bug#622607: cyrus-common has circular Depends on cyrus-common-2.2|cyrus-common-2.4

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi Bill,

I know that and the circular dependency there is a temporary fix to run cyrus-common.postinst after cyrus-common-2.4 gets installed.

I am working on a better solution and will fix that before release.
