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

[Jörg Steffens]

Hi,

thank you for this hint.
So if I understood this correctly, replacing the

Depends: bareos-database-common

by

Depends bareos-database-postgresql | bareos-database-mysql |
bareos-database-sqlite3

in bareos-director and bareos-database-tools

and removing the "Depends: bareos-database-*" from
bareos-database-common should solve this?



bareos-director: Depends bareos-database-postgresql |
bareos-database-mysql | bareos-database-sqlite3

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)

bareos-database-common:     Depends: bareos-common
