Package: spring-common
Version: 0.80.5.2-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Games Team,

There is a circular dependency between spring-common and spring:

spring-common 	:Depends: spring (>= 0.80.5.2-1), spring (<< 0.80.5.2-1.1~)
spring 	:Depends: spring-common (= 0.80.5.2-1)

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

Since spring-common is a data package, it is quite likely it does not need
actually to depend on spring and removing this dependency would
remove the circular dependency, so I would suggest you do so.
