Hello Jérémy,

There is a circular dependency between redmine, redmine-mysql, redmine-pgsql 
and redmine-sqlite:

redmine         :Depends: redmine-sqlite (= 0.9.0~svn2902-1), redmine-mysql (= 
0.9.0~svn2902-1), redmine-pgsql (= 0.9.0~svn2902-1)
redmine-mysql   :Depends: redmine
redmine-pgsql   :Depends: redmine
redmine-sqlite  :Depends: redmine

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

Cheers,
Thanks for the bug report,
1) does replacing Depends by Recommends is still considered a circular
dependency ?
2) if yes, would you hint me for deciding on which one i should break the
circular dependency ? redmine or redmine-<db> ?
Installing redmine alone most of the time leads to an unuseful installation,
while installing e.g. redmine-sqlite alone won't install anything, just 
dependencies.
My bet would be removing the dependency in the e.g. redmine-sqlite, but
i'm quite stuck with the chicken-or-egg myself :)
