Bug#818340: DDPO: newer upstream versions are not displayed (a '-' is there instead)

[Sandro Tosi <morph@debian.org>]

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: important

Hello,
it seems for a while now, the DDPO page is no longer showing if there is a
newer upstream release. Take for example:

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?packages=transmission

no version at all is shown in the 'Watch' column, but:

https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/watch?pkg=transmission

which correctly identifies a new release.

If upstream havent release a new tarball, the version is shown correcly on the
DDPO page, f.e.:

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?packages=matplotlib

could you have a look at it?

Thanks!
