Hi Sebastian, I'm challenging the fact that a circular dependency is a problem for arch:all packages. At least, it shouldn't be an RC bug, IMO.
If the problem is bootstraping (which isn't a problem, since that's arch:all), then a wishlist bug against requests so that it implements the "nodoc" build profile is probably a better way to go. Please downgrade the severity. I also don't understand why you've renamed the original bug, which seems to be very different from the circular dependency you're describing. Can you explain why they are related, and why we shouldn't have 2 bugs? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
