Message-ID <aQTXlhiTBEW7JjOP__15903.3227407903$1761925165$gmane$org@Lisa>
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.22.21

When I run `apt-cache show bsdutils | grep Priority' I get:

```
Priority: required
```

However, if I run `cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep -A2 bsdutils', I get

```
Package: bsdutils
Status: install ok installed
Priority: standard
```

In one case the priority appears as `required' and in the other it appears as `standard'.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux forky/sid, kernel 6.16.12+deb14+1-amd64.

Att.,
