[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#873011: Avoid circular dependency between menu-cache and libfm

[Mike Gabriel]

Source: menu-cache
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: wishlist

Currently, the menu-cache and the libfm have a circular B-D
(build-dependency) on each other that probably could be avoided. 

Such a circular dependency makes it hard/impossible to bootstrap new
architectures for those package.

It seems that libfm heavily depends on menu-cache, but menu-cache only
uses fm-extra.h at one tiny spot.

Currently, this circular B-D affects an FTBFS on powerpcspe for the
topmenu-gtk package [1].

Other solution would be some sort of bootstrap package upload series for
the powerpcspe architecture (however, this will not improve the situation
with new architectures becoming supported by Debian).
