[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#786780: metastudent has circular Depends on metastudent-data

[Bill Allombert]

Package: metastudent
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Med Packaging Team,

There is a circular dependency between metastudent and metastudent-data:

metastudent 	:Depends: metastudent-data (>= 2.0.0)
metastudent-data 	:Depends: metastudent (>= 2.0.0)

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

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