Not really. This is an informative message only (to stderr). As it says,
there are a cycle in the dependencies you've input. Actually, it should
also output what nodes are in the cycle. Doesn't it? In order for tsort
to continue making a total ordering of the nodes it has to break a cycle
(at least one). It just informs you which cycle has been broken.
