Hi everyone, I'm trying to deal with some package dependency issues where an optional package depends on one in extra:
http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=testing&package=genometools and http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist=testing&package=ltrsift Note that these seem to be have been inconsistent before as the PTS page even says (http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/genometools.html): There were override disparities found in suite unstable: libgenometools0: Override says libs - extra, .deb says science - optional genometools: Override says science - extra, .deb says science - optional libgenometools0-dev: Override says libdevel - extra, .deb says libdevel - optional genometools-common: Override says science - extra, .deb says science - optional genometools-doc: Override says doc - extra, .deb says doc - optional Quick question: is it the correct solution to simply change the sections and priorities of the offending binary packages to fit the override values and reupload? I presume that will not result in some unexpected side effects? Best regards Sascha P.S.
