[Bug 1497688] Re: dmsetup and libdevmapper1.02.1 fail to install, depend on each other

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Cyclic dependencies should be handled properly by apt already. Seems
like in this case it should pass both libdevmapper1.02.1 and dmsetup to
dpkg --configure in this case. It's something apt should already be able
to do, but here we seem to be hitting some edge case. Reassigning to
apt.
