nope, you're wrong. qemu-block-extra is a set of plugins. This package is useless without one of the other binary packages which can load these plugins. This is one of qemu-system-foo, AND qemu-utils - that's the set of packages q-b-e should depend on in order to actually work. And speaking of qemu-utils - it looks like this one is missing in the list of dep alternatives.
On the other hand, qemu-system-* does not depend on its plugins, the plugins are optional. And I've no idea why ubuntu makess this a hard dependency - on debian this is just recommends, - or else q-b-e should not be a separate package to begin with, the plugins can be complied into the other binary packages just fine. BTW, putting this logic aside: what's wrong with circular dependencies? Note this is all the same source, so it's easy to fulfill the deps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1961645 Title: QEMU packages have circular dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1961645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
