Bug#129853: bugs search result for bogus package has link to "package"

[era eriksson <era@iki.fi>]

Package: www.debian.org
Version: 20020118
Severity: normal

Searching for bug reports for an unknown package fails to distinguish
between "package does not exist" and "package has no bugs".

When visiting bugs.debian.org and doing a search by package name for
bugs in the package "sdfsdfsdfsdf", I am taken to the result page
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=sdfsdfsdfsdf&archive=no>
which displays the following:

  Debian Bug report logs: package sdfsdfsdfsdf

  You might like to refer to the <sdfsdfsdfsdf package page>.

  ================================================================

  No reports found!

  ================================================================
  (Standard footer: Debian bug tracking system etc etc etc)

The clause "you might like to refer ..." has a clickable link which,
of course, produces a "Debian package search results -- No responses
to your query" page.

This is misleading and confusing. It would be preferable if the link
was omitted (or even, the bug search returned a completely different
kind of result page) when the package in question does not exist in
any shape or form.

Thank you for considering this,

/* era */
