Section oddities

[Andreas Rottmann <a.rottmann@gmx.at>]

Hi!

I already asked this on -mentors, but nobody answered, perhaps anybody
here knows an answer...

I recently packaged up some source code of mine, resulting in a source
package that creates several .debs for the sections 'libs' and
'devel'. When I installed those .debs, I found them in another section
than specified in the .deb...

Anybody know the reason for this?

Here is an example:

~$ dpkg --info ~/debian/packages/libucxx0_0.1.0-1_i386.deb | grep "Section"
 Section: libs
~$ dpkg -s libucxx0 | grep "Section"
 Section: devel

Thanks for any comments,
        Andy
