Bug#607558: cyrus-sasl2-dbg: circular dependency with cyrus-sasl2-mit-dbg, cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg

[Bill Allombert]

Package: cyrus-sasl2-dbg
Version: 2.1.23.dfsg1-7
Severity: important

Hello Debian Cyrus SASL Team,

There is a circular dependency between cyrus-sasl2-dbg, cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg
and cyrus-sasl2-mit-dbg:

cyrus-sasl2-dbg 	:Depends: cyrus-sasl2-mit-dbg, cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg
cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg 	:Depends: cyrus-sasl2-dbg (= 2.1.23.dfsg1-7)
cyrus-sasl2-mit-dbg 	:Depends: cyrus-sasl2-dbg (= 2.1.23.dfsg1-7)

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

In that case, since the packages are build from the same source, I do not see
much point to having three packages if the user is required to install all of
them anyway.

Cheers,
