Eh, yes, that's what I meant to write.

Should be done nevertheless, imho. any check-only depends should be  
:)

Has been done. Has the nice side affect of the _all build just doing the docs.

It's actually doxygen that uses libclang.  Otherwise, that's correct.
(And I think the reason for llvm build-depending on ocaml is that
there's a seldom-used ocaml binding included in the package.  That
might be another place that a build profile, like "stage1" or
"no-ocaml", could potentially break the cycle.  Though at this point
in my bootstrap process there are several other packages that
llvm-toolchain-* is blocked on, so I'm not sure if that would be
sufficient.)

On a second look at this cycle, I guess yet another possible place to
break it would be if libxcb could be updated to build-depend on "check
".

Thanks.

Hi,

even with

from your reassign this bug report is weird.

*shrugs*, Do I read that right that everything boils down to cppunit
using clang and that one build-dependig on ocaml for whatever reason?
This is hilarious.

Erm, but you have seen that libcppunit-doc *DOES* exist?

That could be done, indeed...

Bug#870028: subunit: Make source package bootstrappable

[Daniel Schepler]

Source: subunit
Version: 1.1.0-3
Severity: wishlist

The subunit source package's Build-Depends on doxygen creates a
circular dependency which makes it difficult to bootstrap:

doxygen Build-Depends on llvm-4.0-dev
llvm-toolchain-4.0 Build-Depends on ocaml-nox
ocaml Build-Depends on libx11-dev
libx11 Build-Depends on libxcb-dev
libxcb Build-Depends on check
check Build-Depends on libsubunt-dev
subunit Build-Depends on libcppunit-dev

The easiest way I can think of to resolve this would be if the
generated documentation could be split out into a separate
libsubunit-doc package, and then doxygen could be moved to
Build-Depends-Indep.
