Actually, a further look showed that all the packages in "Conflict:" (do not exists in unstable/testing, and...) also have "Priority: extra", so those conflicts are not themselves the reason of the "extra" priority... they are maybe a hint (python-scipy has probably "inherited" this), but I still don't get the original reason. Anyway, if it's not so important, I will wait a couple of days for some more info and then switch my package to "extra" and stop bothering. thanks Pietro -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIcoOJcZVtR82bmAYRAvqGAJ9VwCEHxBpXIbFTv90ltGubtgdE8QCdEKLN VsrhrEp9GeZI9dZrBj77Nyw= =hepX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
