I always used optional unless one of dependencies was already non-optional. If libraries get Priority=extra by default, where do f.e. -doc packages go now? -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645

Where is the myth that they change priority to extra even coming from? Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[...] > Where is the myth that they change priority to extra even coming from? all my NEW packages have extra by default even though I set optional. See f.e. python-async-timeout At least on https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-async-timeout.html (which also states section=misc instead of python). In the past I also received an email after *each* upload about section mismatch. -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645

This is the section and priority of the *source* package (which to my understanding does not have any meaning at all). The binary packages correctly have % apt-cache show python3-async-timeout | egrep "Section|Priority" Section: python Priority: optional Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher signature.asc Description: PGP signature
