  ****************************************************************
  When updating an OSGi application to change a bundle
  dependency so that the application depends on a lower
  version of a bundle (referred to as a downgrade), an
  exception might occur.
  
  The following exception is seen in the logs:
  com.ibm.ws.eba.provisioning.services.ResolverException:
  Suspected circular dependency. Unsatisfied requirements
  list isolated content required by shared content.
  
  This in particular occurs with the main sample application
  shipped with the feature pack. Note that the issue
  will most likely occur during downgrading but in theory
  upgrading might also be affected.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 1.0.0.1 of the Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and
  JPA 2.0
  

Temporary fix
