Bug#622607: cyrus-common has circular Depends on cyrus-common-2.2|cyrus-common-2.4

[Bill Allombert]

Package: cyrus-common
Version: 2.4.7-6
Severity: important

Hello Debian Cyrus Team,

There is a circular dependency between cyrus-common and cyrus-common-2.2|cyrus-common-2.4:

cyrus-common 	:Depends: cyrus-common-2.4 (>= 2.4.7-6~) | cyrus-common-2.2 (>= 2.2.13p1-5~)
cyrus-common-2.2 	:Depends: cyrus-common (>= 2.4.7-6~)
cyrus-common-2.4 	:Depends: cyrus-common (>= 2.4.7-6~)

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

Since cyrus-common is a data package, it is quite likely it does not need
actually to depend on cyrus-common-2.2|cyrus-common-2.4 and removing this dependency would
remove the circular dependency, so I would suggest you do so.
