Hi Tobias, Thanks, this is a good idea - I don't remember why I set the priority to extra, but reading now http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities I see no reason for the extra priority. Question: you referred to libprotobuf7 only, but I wonder if this shouldn't go across all packages; what do you think? thanks, iustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
