Error in package search CGI scripts.
Hi,
Just a quick mail to report an error in the package search script.
[Some of these URL's may have wrapped badly, I apologise in advance
if this is the case].
I started at:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
Filled in the form for "Search Package Directories", by typing
"kernel", and clicking search.
This gave me 20 hits, at the following URL:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=kernel&searchon=names&subword=1&version=stable&release=all
At the bottom of the page I see :
"Responses 1-20 shown, out of total of 32"
The URL that is then given is wrong, it is:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages?keywords=kernel&searchon=names&version=stable&release=all&start=21&subword=1
Notice how the "search_packages" script which is called is
missing the ".pl" extension?
I manually added .pl, and was taken to the correct 12
results.
I hope this is helpful to you..
Steve
