debcheck.php

2005-01-23 Thread Nikita V. Youshchenko 
Hello.

http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=unstable&package=libetpan states 
that there is a problem with my package (libetpan-dev), because it is 
optional and depends on extra libdb4.2-dev.

However, in fact libdb4.2-dev is extra, as control file in binary deb 
states:

Package: libetpan-dev
Version: 0.35-2
Section: libdevel
Priority: extra
...

So what's the problem?


P.S.
Please CC reply to my e-mail.

The override file says it's optional. It needs to be changed, as
currently there is indeed a disagreement between the package itself and
the override file. Note that in the Packages.gz file you'll find your
package as 'optional', since the override file takes precedence (hence
the name of that file).

Optional vs. extra currently isn't being enforced very well, so I
suggest to ignore this for now, or mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
your changes (but it might take a while to get processed).

The priorities are overridden by the ftp maintainence scripts. They
have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /org/ftp.debian.org/katie/alicia libetpan-dev
libetpan-dev is in section 'libdevel' at priority 'optional'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /org/ftp.debian.org/katie/alicia libdb4.2-dev 
libdb4.2-dev is in section 'libdevel' at priority 'extra'

So, this complaint is true. Please reply to the "priority disagrees with
your upload"-mail that you get on each upload to have the priorites in
the archive changed.



Cheers,
Andi
