ftp-master, usually the maintainer changes the priority in the next upload, and replies to the mail regarding override discrepancies he gets, it lists the correct address to reply to. Both ftp-master and the package maintainer need to change it, but in the packages lists and everywhere where it matters, the ftp-master definition takes precedence. At the moment rules like a package may not depend on a lower priority package are violated reasonably often, and this is not a RC issue. See [1] for a list of those issues. It may be that someone is trying to come up with a list of suggestions to fix that, which could then be processed, but in the meanwhile, don't feel too bad when temporarily violating that rule for extra vs optional. --Jeroen [1] http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=sid&list=priority&arch=ANY -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
