--------------------+------------------------------------------------------- GDM 2 is slowly dying. More importantly, there appears to be
[http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/09/msg00038.html a consensus on
debian-devel] to make Policy disallow circular dependencies for the
benefit of dependency resolvers. This won't happen any time soon (mostly
because perl/perl-modules needs to be sorted out) but it looks fairly
inevitable, and we'd like resolvers with this assumption not to break when
encountering our metapackages.
I believe that our only circular dependencies are in -branding packages,
based on the following aptitude query:
{{{
geofft@leveret:~$ aptitude search '~Odebathena ?for x: ~D~D?=x'
p debathena-cluster - Athena cluster configuration for
Debian
p debathena-cluster-branding - Displays which Debathena metapackage
level
p debathena-login-graphical - Athena graphical login configuration
p debathena-login-graphical-brand - Displays which Debathena metapackage
level
p debathena-workstation - Athena managed workstation
configuration
p debathena-workstation-branding - Displays which Debathena metapackage
level
}}}
