Description

regular deb package usually has dependencies on other deb packages. If we consider set of debs we could have cyclic dependencies like:

package1.deb depends on package2.deb
package2.deb depends on package3.deb and package4.deb
package3.deb depends on package1.deb

There is a cycle: package1.deb -> package2.deb -> package3.deb -> package1.deb

We have to google which cyclic dependency detection tools are available and describe it here http://osll.spb.ru/wiki/mtf/_package_cycling_
