Hello,
Help! calling for guidance. We've got one of our test sites somehow mangled with version 7 modules, not intended!
Situation: we drush copy our live site to a test bed. somehow, version 7 modules are on the test site now, and we are having trouble 'undo'-ing the situation.
It's only a portion of the Biblio modules, and Drupal core.
Also, we have been seeing this mysterious message recently, possibly related? No idea where this is coming from.
Field is part of a circular dependency. This is not supported and you will not be able to switch it on.
Field SQL storage is part of a circular dependency. This is not supported and you will not be able to switch it on.
Any insight, guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

We have managed to fix the issue, using custom scripts instead of Drush.
And I've found mention of the circular issue here: http://drupal.org/node/1046900
and here: http://diggit.drupalextras.com/node/80164/related_links
Still a bit of a disconcerting issue to see, especially for a minor version change from 6.19 to 6.20 causing such havoc.

Fix
Hi, if you read this could you please care to give me a clue as to how you have solved the issue described above? I run into the same problem, but can't seem to find a solution. At this point in my Drupal 'career' I'm not able yet to script some solution from scratch.
Thanks for takin an interest and help me out a bit!
Regards

I don't remember the exact scripts, I'm asking our admin that did the trick. He has moved on to other projects but still somewhat available, so response time may take a bit.

possible solution
i ve had the very same issue, i tried restoring my dump and uplading the directory to a brand new server and they worked perfectly!
so in my opinion, the problem is the old db is somehow stuck with some changes due to the migration/upgrade process and cant rollback to the older version, so i will try deleting the db completely and try restoring again. i am %99.9 sure that it will work. will inform about the results.
not mysql, it was a folder/file permissions issue for me...
in my case the problem was not about mysql.
some files in the sites folder needed to be renewed manually to the older/working copies , the normal html directory restore was unable to delete and update those files (possibly settings php was modified, and it was something about the core). anyway when i "manually" uploaded the directory, the annoying "Field is part of a circular dependency." error went away. hope it helps someone wlese who has a problem like this. (my case was trying to uprade to d7, due to some errors i received, i gave it up and rolled back to the d6 version, and i started getting these errors.)
