Package: qa.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: newcomer User: qa.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertag: debsources Hello, When trying to query a license for a directory http://sources.debian.net/copyright/file/gnubg/1.04.000-1/doc/gnubg/ instead of a file http://sources.debian.net/copyright/file/gnubg/1.04.000-1/doc/gnubg/gnubg.html/ the error is not that explicit since it says that it couldn't find the file whereas we requested a directory. A solution would be to provide a better explanation and mention that we landed on a directory, and provide a link to its sources. Another solution would be to try and retrieve the license of the directory. I am not sure how python-debian handles queries for directories so there's some investigation included here.
