Hello Debian LVM Team,

There is a circular dependency between dmeventd and liblvm2cmd2.02:

dmeventd 	:Depends: liblvm2cmd2.02 (>= 2.02.111)
liblvm2cmd2.02 	:Depends: dmeventd (>> 2:1.02.90)

Circular dependencies involving shared libraries are known to cause problems
during upgrade between stable releases, so we should try to get rid of them.

See threads

There are actually two circular dependencies in this source.  I've found
no wait to get around them, so until someone actually shows a problem or
can provide a usable way to fix it, I don't care.

Bastian

There is a way to resolve the circular dependency between dmeventd and
liblvm2cmd2.02, but it comes at the expense of a new binary package for
the plugins.
