Bug#717329: sysv-rc has circular Depends on sysvinit-utils

 Hello Debian sysvinit maintainers,

Hi.

 There is a circular dependency between sysv-rc and sysvinit-utils:

 sysv-rc   :Depends: sysvinit-utils (= 2.86.ds1-62)
 sysvinit-utils:Depends: sysv-rc (= 2.88dsf-24) | file-rc (= 0.8.16)

 Circular dependencies involving shared libraries are known to cause problems
 during upgrade between stable releases, so we should try to get rid of
 them.

I was planning to get rid of this, but am unable to figure out where it
come from.  Might be my fever induced head, but I see the sysvinit -
sysv-rc dependency on
URL: https://packages.debian.org/unstable/sysvinit-utils , but am
completely unable to find it in the git source:

pkg-sysvinit/sysvinit-git$ grep sysv-rc debian/control 
 sysv-rc | file-rc,
Package: sysv-rc
Suggests: sysv-rc-conf, bum
 sysvinit-utils (= 2.88dsf-50), sysv-rc | file-rc,
pkg-sysvinit/sysvinit-git$

And the git history do not show when it disappeared either, so I am very
confused.  Anyone able to understand what happened with this dependency?

I believe the fix is for sysvinit-utils to not depend on sysv-rc.

Happy hacking
