[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#549935: libboost-python1.40-dev: circular dependency with libboost1.40-dev

[Bill Allombert]

Package: libboost-python1.40-dev
Version: 1.40.0-2
Severity: important

Hello Debian Boost Team,

There is a circular dependency between libboost-python1.40-dev and libboost1.40-dev:

libboost-python1.40-dev 	:Depends: libboost1.40-dev (= 1.40.0-2)
libboost1.40-dev 	:Depends: libboost-python1.40-dev

In that instance, since libboost-python1.40-dev are from the same source
package and both 'arch:any', I do not see the point of splitting them if
the user is required to install both of them.

Cheers,
