[Pkg-bareos-devel] Bug#769536: bareos-database-common: circular dependency hell

[Bill Allombert]

Package: bareos-database-common
Version: 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3
Severity: important

Hello Bareos Packaging Team,

There is a circular dependency between bareos-database-common, bareos-database-mysql, bareos-database-postgresql and bareos-database-sqlite3:

bareos-database-common: Depends: bareos-database-postgresql (= 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3)| bareos-database-mysql (= 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3)| bareos-database-sqlite3 (= 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3)
bareos-database-mysql 	   :Depends: bareos-database-common (= 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3)
bareos-database-postgresql :Depends: bareos-database-common (= 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3)
bareos-database-sqlite3    :Depends: bareos-database-common (= 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3)

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