Package: aide-common
Version: 0.13.1-11
Severity: important

Hello Aide Maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between aide-common and aide:

aide-common 	:Depends: aide | aide-binary
aide 	        :Depends: aide-common (= 0.13.1-11)

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

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