This is what I think also.
I think it was mistakenly added as a dependency as a shortcut to save games
packages from requiring it (by me).
A fix would be:
- drop ggzmod dependency on ggzcore-bin
- make all games packages depend on ggzcore-bin (they already build-depend on
it by way of ggzmod-dev (which depends on ggzmod), and should then directly
build-depend on it in addition)
Hence, all games will depend on ggzcore also, but they already do this through
ggzmod.
Nevertheless we should make ggzmod let recommend ggzcore-bin, if possible.
Whatever the outcome, docs/ggz-project/ggz-dependencies should be updated then
to reflect the decision, because it is a bit vague on this at the moment.
Note that the 0.0.13 packages of GGZ are "unclean" since some core clients
need ggz-config for no real reason to build from source. This will be fixed
in 0.0.14. But this is certainly unrelated to the circular dependency
problem.
