I started the bug filling, see the result here: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=circular-deps;[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Also Robert Lemmen provide now the listing of packages affected per maintainers here: <http://debian.semistable.com/unstable_developers.txt> I would like to thanks the maintainers for the positive feedback I got (only two reports get summarily closed so far). > Though I think we have at least some false-positives to weed out first: > > > * libxtst6 libxtrap6 libxrender1 libxrandr2 libxpm4 libxp6 libxt6 > > libxmu6 libxi6 libsm6 xlibs > > Given that I can remove xlibs from my system and not take any of these other > libs along, this looks like a false positive (probably as a result of the > many or'ed deps on xlibs). I am not sure, there are other possibilities since dpkg will not install extra packages to break a circular dep. However much of the grief come from the | xlibs (>> 4.1.0) which is meant to handle upgrade from woody which have a monolithic xlibs, and can probably be removed now.
