Package: abiword-common
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: important

Hello Masayuki,

There is a circular dependency between abiword-common and
abiword|abiword-gnome:

abiword-common: Depends: abiword | abiword-gnome
abiword:        Depends: abiword-common (>= 2.4.1)
abiword-gnome:  Depends: abiword-common (>= 2.4.1)

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

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

If you do that, it would be cleaner to also move the /usr/bin/abiword
symlink to both of abiword and abiword-gnome, and add a Replaces
abiword-common in them.
