In source package it is > optional, I checked. The package priority is architecture-independent. The reason for the difference you see is that you're comparing dpkg status with the apt cche. The dpkg status will have the priority that was set in the source package, whereas the apt cache will have the priority that was set by the FTP team. Usuaully these are the same but not always. > I doubt it matter, but that they have different versioned dependencies > on libc. Any suggestions, what else to check and how to fix? [...] This is not (necessarily) a bug. Sometimes glibc changes the ABI of a function, and sometimes only for some architectures. The version int e dependency will be determined based on the functions libgdbm5 uses and whenever they were introduced or last changed ABI. (These changes are backward-compatible because glibc maintains the old versions as well, and uses symbol versioning to distinguish them.)
