Package: debian-i18n Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, Since Debian Policy 4.7.3 the Priority field defaults to "optional" and is recommended to be omitted from the source stanza: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities dl10n-check, which generates the l10n-pkg-status pages on i18n.debian.org, still treats a missing Priority as an error: source does not specify a priority Every package following current Policy is therefore marked as errored, and the error propagates to tracker.debian.org as an "action needed" item. Affected examples: cppi, vim, gnome-shell, geeqie, kdenlive: https://i18n.debian.org/l10n-pkg-status/c/cppi.html A fix already exists. Simon Josefsson posted a patch in January 2026 (thread "cppi: i18n.debian.org: source does not specify a priority" on debian-i18n) and opened a merge request: https://salsa.debian.org/l10n-team/dl10n/-/merge_requests/11 Two actions are needed: 1. Merge !11 in salsa l10n-team/dl10n 2. Deploy the updated dl10n-check on i18n.debian.org so the daily regeneration stops emitting the error Happy to help test, or to assist with dl10n maintenance if extra hands are welcome.
