Hi all,

I am trying to fix FTBFS for jboss related packages in Ubuntu. But I
have found out that there are circular build dependencies. Since there
has been no change in source in Ubuntu, I thought I would better ask
here.

Are the circular build dependencies intentional or accidental? If they
are intentional can anyone suggest any way to fix FTBFS?

Thanks in advance.

Circular dependencies are bad but not a big problem in Debian in this
case as all packages are architecture independant and we are uploading
binary packages to the archive. Both reasons make it simple for Debian.

In general you need to create packages that dont have a circular
dependency first and use this for bootstrapping. when all packages
depending on this one you can replace it by a real package.
