Bug#711700: libscilab2-java: circular dependency hell

[Bill Allombert]

Package: libscilab2-java
Version: 5.4.1-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Science Team,

There is a circular dependency between libscilab2-java, scilab-full-bin and scilab-minimal-bin:

libscilab2-java 	:Depends: scilab-full-bin (>= 5.4.1-1)
scilab-full-bin 	:Depends: scilab-minimal-bin (= 5.4.1-1), libscilab2-java
scilab-minimal-bin 	:Depends: scilab-full-bin

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

Also it is strange that scilab-minimal-bin depends on scilab-full-bin.

Cheers,
