Yes, the invocation includes --nocyclic. We could remove it and have
chkcat include the cyclic dependency test.

Can you write a cron job which downloads catalogs, checks them and
notifies (e.g. by email) the maintainers of problematic packages? The
RESTful interface of the buildfarm db allows you to map from package
md5 sums to maintainer emails.  See the other email on maintainers@
for details how to get the URLs.
