Package: ggz-kde-games-data
Version: 0.0.13-2
Severity: important

Hello Debian GGZ Maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between ggz-kde-games-data and ggz-kde-games:

ggz-kde-games-data :Depends: ggz-kde-games (= 0.0.13-2)
ggz-kde-games 	   :Depends: ggz-kde-games-data (= 0.0.13-2)

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

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