[pkg-ggz-maintainers] Bug#384747: ggz-sdl-games-data has circular Depends on ggz-sdl-games

[Bill Allombert]

Package: ggz-sdl-games-data
Version: 0.0.13-2
Severity: important

Hello Debian GGZ Maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between ggz-sdl-games-data and ggz-sdl-games:

ggz-sdl-games-data 	:Depends: ggz-sdl-games (= 0.0.13-2)
ggz-sdl-games 	:Depends: ggz-sdl-games-data (= 0.0.13-2)

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

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