Re: Checking dependencies

Hi, Well, since APT came along, the emphasis on and interest in pkg-order have waned. pkg-order uses tsort, which does not handle circular dependencies well. Since dpkg and apt break the loop and have no problems with circular dependencies, loops have crept into the dependency graph.
