The override file declares where a package description is to be filed. In effect, the section of Debian that expects to include this package. The overrides are initially set when the package is first uploaded and, in general, should not change later. Unless there is a good reason to move the package from misc into utils, you should upload a new version with Section: misc instead of Section: utils in debian/control. You'll get similar disparities with Priority values but these are more awkward - you may not be able to change to the same Priority as the override file because a new dependency in the package may have a lower priority than your package. If the dependency is "extra" and the package is "optional", this will cause a debcheck error on your package - an application should not depend on a dependency of lower priority (because this package would be on a different CDROM, causing grief during an install from CD). In this situation, you'll have to follow the instructions in the disparity notice and send an email to request a change in the override file. It takes a while. http://packages.qa.debian.org/q/qof.html * libqof-backend-sqlite0: Override says libs - extra, .deb says libs - optional * libqof-backend-qsf0: Override says libs - extra, .deb says libs - optional http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=unstable&package=pilot-qof Package is optional and has a Depends on libqof-backend-qsf0 which is extra on i386. I've tried to fix this by email but, so far, nothing has changed. The override file, IMHO, is wrong here (my fault - the first upload of these new packages went awry) - if the override file for the two QOF packages is updated, both problems disappear. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
