stable packages without priorities

[Philip Martin <philip_martin@ntlworld.com>]

Hi

On my potato system I see:

$ apt-cache check
Bad prio eximon,3.12-10.1 == 0
Bad prio elvis-tiny,1.4-10 == 0
Bad prio cfingerd,1.4.1-1.1 == 0
Bad prio rxvt,1:2.6.2-2.1 == 0
Bad prio joe,2.8-15.3 == 0
Bad prio nis,3.8-0.1 == 0
Bad prio rxvt-ml,1:2.6.2-2.1 == 0
Bad prio exim,3.12-10.1 == 0
Bad prio qpopper,2.53-4 == 0
Bad prio sendfile,2.1-20.3 == 0

Running dselect I note that exim, which I have installed, is listed as
obsolete and the other packages, which I don't have installed, do not
even appear.

Does this indicate a problem on my system, or as I suspect, an error
in the Debian packages/archive?  I checked Packages.gz from
security.debian.org and none of the above packages appear to have a
Priority field in that file.
