I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe both are bad English.

It should indicate that the (package) graph has a cycle. For example
when two packages depend on each other. Because packages are compiled
one after the other, a cycle is not supported aka invalid.

The term "circle" was translated from German graph theory, but the
common words in English graph theory are "cycle" and "cyclic".
