Bug#399236: www.debian.org: packages.debian.org links to copyright and changelog files are broken

["Kevin B. McCarty" <kmccarty@Princeton.EDU>]

Package: www.debian.org

Hi,

As reported by Yvo van Doorn at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/11/msg02030.html
(and as I just verified), the links on packages.debian.org/<package>
pages to the copyright and changelog files are currently broken.

Example:

Go to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/science/cernlib
At the bottom of the page, click on the link for "View the Debian
changelog" [1] or "View the copyright file" [2].

Both links give a 404.

[1]
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/cernlib/cernlib_2005.dfsg-5/changelog
[2]
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/cernlib/cernlib_2005.dfsg-5/cernlib.copyright

This happens because the directory
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/cernlib/
is empty, except for a file called "current" (which also gives a 404,
and is presumably a dead symlink to the missing directory that should
contain the changelog and copyright files for the version of cernlib in
Sid).

I've checked the entries for several packages on p.d.o and all of them I
checked have this problem.  So this does not seem to be just a matter of
p.d.o lagging behind ftp.d.o.  Is this the same problem as #354928 ?

regards,
