Re: when two packages depend on eachother, it's impossible to uninstall them

(exmaple: Util/bzip2 and Libs/libbz2)

You're right. Dependency loops are bad -- but sometimes unavoidable, when A and B really are co-dependent. However, in this case libbz2 really shouldn't depend on bzip2 -- the true dependency is one-way.


I'll fix that, but as for the general problem...
