[Bioperl-l] Optional 'circular dependency' ok?

[Hilmar Lapp]

I guess not only is it circular, but also the version required isn't  
identical. This smells like something generating confusion and  
version clashes down the road, so I'm not sure I would want an  
'installer' tool to take care of this automatically.
