I remember that during the first upload the priorities were set to extra, and only later changed to optional to comply with the DebMed policy -- I guess that's where the disparities came from in the first place. Do you think it is worth the while to file a change request?

Well, in the current state there are even optional-extra dependencies within binary packages from the same source package, such as python-genometools vs. libgenometools0, see http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=testing&package=genometools. Whatever of both is chosen, I'd really like to straighten these out into a consistent state. > In the case of the sections, libraries should be in the “libs” > section so here it is definitely the source package that has to be > corrected.

I will make the necessary adjustments to the packages and upload with the next updated upstream release. > Have a nice day, You too, and best wishes Sascha - -- Sascha Steinbiss Center for Bioinformatics University of Hamburg Bundesstr. 43 20146 Hamburg Germany Email: [email protected] URL: http://www.zbh.uni-hamburg.de/steinbiss Phone: +49 (40) 42838 7322 FAX: +49 (40) 42838 7312 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSeXbtAAoJEFVWo04Eo2ELri4P+QG426lpsxT7AGlMR0lKI9VP f29VTA5qLn8e0VAEt4zc7Uk0ptR3nM4k1nrFbDoiJGkDicKsCh38rRifVBhy105R palPaO4ZRi2jEy7J+kwxN7t0a9CHHNd31myeXKQI3Y4jgSBq7LpZAFlhRPRKNupx elbtMj+emSr0iC2fviYWCI61rU7IvfEhZxrmQfMULicNnQT3FtHeo/GziAtdl2mP gQ2y6OYiMkMJDj0Waq46JVTWST9gGYcKtmET++htWAH31qqrqfRE2Y1UbqrO/yjP wre5Xu9BHOzmYYfsKPjSoiyRojg0IEHQUBZjIRn7Cjq5cwO6Llt7SLM9Su8eW39S qQrEuCUetJPWlwQblTrmcSggtf/y6nJQt7lE6H2tIBmH6mTPfePLHkqaziGNFivi afsF/dGNwgcCThawbCMNTWK7pSo0SHHHZoO+4nfXu2/fpeUQJgq9zjtxfOHxwXOf UEedPiPZNMTU6hTFF8juRT27nIo4MVJKysblPPOxUaeLT6uqxL6XemLTo6Dtucj+ olCVCX0vkur3djmfLo430B6+LjZ8aCb6eaY6Jj3mqhB+JtsgP8c/sQEVr3XzSXly xb6WF7dx4POUc14EvOUFuMBuL42wvAzrX+nJdOkWRVlNETs1TgvuMaGNH26ooepl vxEHUWeD3tDd1AZwhNHm =U436 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
