Bug#540925: www.debian.org: web interface for bug needs specific error if package
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: minor
When a user is on the page http://www.debian.org/Bugs/, he can fill
the package field with a name that does not match a package (in case
of a mispell, ...). For example, a search for package
'this_package_does_not_exist' goes to:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=this_package_does_not_exist
Of course, there is an error message but it's little bit confusing:
''There is no maintainer for this_package_does_not_exist. Please do
not report new bugs against this package.
There is no record of the this_package_does_not_exist package, and no
bugs have been filed against it."
The first sentence fits more orphan package, the second one is right.
To my mind, an error like 'this_package_does_not_exist package not
found. Please do not report new bugs against this package.' would be
better.
