I've set the severity to normal because it isn't harmful. Hello Manolo, thanks for your bug report! Could you please clarify what you mean by saying that debianutils is a "required" package? Do you mean that it is a "Priority: required" package? Indeed it is; it is also an "Essential: yes" package, hence it is assumed to be installed on any (non broken) Debian box. That "Suggests: debianutils (>= 2.0)" has been in apt-listbugs since before 2006: I am not even sure why (I only adopted the package in 2009)... Maybe in order to suggest to have at least version 2.0 of debianutils, but that version is now long obsolete. I think that this Suggests may be probably dropped... Please let me know what you think. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! ..................................................... Francesco Poli .
