Bug#808606: libgdal1i: circular dependency hell

[Bill Allombert]

Package: libgdal1i
Version: 1.11.3+dfsg-2+b3
Severity: important

Hello Debian GIS Project,

There is a circular dependency between libgdal1i, liblwgeom-2.2-2,
libopenscenegraph100v5, libsfcgal1 and libspatialite7:

libgdal1i 	:Depends: libspatialite7 (>= 4.2.0)
liblwgeom-2.2-2 	:Depends: libsfcgal1 (>= 1.1.0)
libopenscenegraph100v5 	:Depends: libgdal1i (>= 1.11.0)
libsfcgal1 	:Depends: libopenscenegraph100v5
libspatialite7 	:Depends: liblwgeom-2.2-2 (>= 2.1.0)

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