[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#963866: libbio-cluster-perl: circular dependency hell

[Bill Allombert]

Package: libbio-cluster-perl
Version: 1.7.3-4
Severity: important

Hello Debian Med Packaging Team,

There is a circular dependency between libbio-cluster-perl,
libbio-asn1-entrezgene-perl, libbio-db-ncbihelper-perl and
libbio-variation-perl:

libbio-cluster-perl 	:Depends: libbio-variation-perl
libbio-asn1-entrezgene-perl 	:Depends: libbio-cluster-perl
libbio-db-ncbihelper-perl 	:Depends: libbio-asn1-entrezgene-perl (>> 1.730)
libbio-variation-perl 	:Depends: libbio-db-ncbihelper-perl

Complex circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to avoid them.
