Re: [arch-general] how to handle dependency cycle?

Hello,

I found dependency cycle in extra:

libjpeg -> nasm (makedepends) nasm -> ghostscript (makedepends) ghostscript -> libjpg (depends)

check_package.py script (one that sends Integrity Check to arch-dev-public) does not treat this as dependency cycle, but clearly I can't build one package without at least one another.

Assuming I have no packages from extra, how do I handle this? In this case I could just drop ghostscript from nasm and everything will work (well, I hope so). This is just bug?

It is probably not a bug. You can drop ghostscript from nasm makedepends, build the rest then rebuild nasm. Allan
