Package: libgnome-java
Version: 2.12.2-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Java maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between libgnome-java and libgnome-jni:

libgnome-java 	:Depends: libgnome-jni (= 2.12.2-1)
libgnome-jni 	:Depends: libgnome-java (= 2.12.2-1)

Circular dependencies involving libraries are known to cause problems
during upgrade between stable releases, so we should try to get rid of them.

See threads

Imagine a large red swirl here.
