That link worked for me just now. It reported "You have searched 
for packages that names contain apache2 in suite(s) stable, all 
sections, and all architectures. Found 18 matching packages." All 
18 were displayed.

I've seen a similar complaint on another group. I had no problem 
with that either.

I wonder if there is a geography or browser issue here.
I'm in southwestern Missouri, USA and browsing with SeaMonkey 
2.26.1 under WinXP Pro (sorry about that ;). He was using 
iceweasel under Wheezy or later. Don't know his location.
