Package: scilab-full-bin
Version: 5.2.0-4
Severity: important

Hello Debian Science Team,

There is a circular dependency between scilab-full-bin and scilab-minimal-bin:

scilab-full-bin 	:Depends: scilab-minimal-bin (= 5.2.0-4)
scilab-minimal-bin 	:Depends: scilab-full-bin

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

In this case, it seems really strange for scilab-minimal-bin to depend on
scilab-full-bin.

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
