[OE-core] [PATCH] package-deb: Ignore circular dependencies

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

What about ack this patch until we have something more generic.

The fact that the perl-module package is wrong and we havent find it
out until today makes me think that it is only apt-get who has this
issue with circular depencies.

Regards!
