It was reported before (I couldn't find the message, but I
remember testing and confirming it), so I'm cc:ing Frank (djpig) so
he can take a look at it. :)
Here is how you can reproduce it:
1) Pick any package, let's use the above:
http://packages.debian.org/libx11-dev
2) Choose any version, let's pick sid.
The URL looks like:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libx11-dev
The pathway in red bar looks like:
>> Debian >> Packages >> sid (unstable) >> libdevel >> libx11-dev
3) Choose an arch to download, let's pick s390.
The URL looks like:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libx11-dev/s390/download
The pathway in red bar looks like:
>> Debian >> Packages >> sid >> libx11-dev >> s390 >> Download
4) Now, click on the "s390" link on the red bar:
The URL looks like:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/s390/libx11-dev
The pathway in red bar looks like:
>> Debian >> Packages >> sid (unstable) >> libdevel >> libx11-dev
5) Only arch s390 shows up, try to click on it to download.
The URL looks like:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/s390/libx11-dev/s390/download
And finally the error: "arch set more than once in path"
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
