[Pkg-glusterfs-devel] Bug#537787: glusterfs-client: circular dependency with glusterfs-server

[Bill Allombert]

Package: glusterfs-client
Version: 2.0.4-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian GlusterFS Team,

There is a circular dependency between glusterfs-client and glusterfs-server:

glusterfs-client 	:Depends: glusterfs-server (= 2.0.4-1)
glusterfs-server 	:Depends: glusterfs-client

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

In this case, I do not see the point of splitting glusterfs-client and
glusterfs-server if both packages need to be installed anyway.
