Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.9
Severity: wishlist
Hello Lintian maintainers,
I would like to propose that Lintian emits a warning when a source package
(or change files) include circular dependencies between the generated
packages.
An example:
Source package S generate two binary packages P1 and P2
P1 depends on P2 and P2 depends on P1.
You could flag a warning
"circular dependency between P1 and P2"
You can invoke policy 7.2;
`Depends'
This declares an absolute dependency. A package will not be
configured unless all of the packages listed in its `Depends'
field have been correctly configured.
Cheers,
