 What problem did you get?  Could you paste the log of the error?  A lot
 of people upgraded without experiencing any trouble.

 I agree this self-dependency is weird and a bit bogus, but it isn't
 explicitely forbidden by the policy and didn't cause breakage until
 now.  We'll try to fix it, but I don't think that deserves a severity
 higher than minor (if it causes no breakage).
