Some packages have different priorities in apt-cache and deb files.
Can anyone help me figure out why? Thanks
I list the different priorities of some packages as follows:
$ apt update
$ apt download whiptail
$ dpkg-deb -e whiptail_0.52.23-1+b1_amd64.deb
$ cat control | grep Prio
Priority: optional
$ apt-cache show whiptail | grep Prio
Priority: important
$ apt download man-db
$ dpkg -e man-db_2.11.2-2_amd64.deb
$ cat DEBIAN/control | grep Prio
Priority: important
$ apt-cache show man-db | grep Prio
Priority: standard
$ apt download install-info
$ dpkg -e install-info_6.8-6+b1_amd64.deb
$ cat DEBIAN/control | grep Prio
Priority: important
$ apt-cache show install-info | grep Prio
Priority: optional
Apologies if this is the wrong list
I wood appreciate it if you would point me in the right direction
