[Pkg-pciutils-discuss] Bug#425639: pciutils (Priority: standard) depends on libpci2 (Priority: optional)

[John Wright]

Package: pciutils
Version: 1:2.2.4~pre4-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.5


pciutils depends on libpci2, but libpci2 is of lower priority.
According to Policy 2.5, "Packages must not depend on packages with
lower priority values (excluding build-time dependencies)."  You
mentioned in #399161 that you planned to drop the libpci2 dependency
after etch anyway--here's another reason to do so.
