So, if I get it right, the circular dependency is:
util-linux -> libselinux -> python3 -> util-linux
But wait, I realize that there is worse, with the Python libuuid thing,
we have the following circular dependency as well:
util-linux -> python3 -> util-linux
So that last one we can fix by introducing python-util-linux, as I was
suggesting to also solve the BlueZ related circular:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2018-August/229558.html
But that first one is different, because it won't be solved by moving
the util-linux Python bindings to a separate package. To solve:
util-linux -> libselinux -> python3 -> util-linux
then we need to create python-libselinux, which will build/install the
python bindings of libselinux. This way util-linux -> libselinux will
not pull in a python3 dependency. This should be doable, because
libselinux has separate make targets for building/installing the python
bindings.
These circular dependencies are annoying.
Best regards,
Thomas
