Package: zhone
Version: 0-git20090610-3
Severity: important

Hello Debian freesmartphone.org Team,

There is a circular dependency between zhone and zhone-illume-glue:

zhone 	:Depends: zhone-illume-glue
zhone-illume-glue 	:Depends: zhone

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

Since zhone-illume-glue is a data package, it is quite likely it does not need
actually to depend on zhone-illume-glue and removing this dependency would
remove the circular dependency, so I would suggest you do so.

See threads
