Bug#612561: www.debian.org: packages.debian.org - not displaying hits in lenny/oldstable or squeeze/stable
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I performed the following search:
(Wed Feb 9 06:30 UTC 2011)
lynx http://packages.debian.org/xfce4
This returned exact hits and partial-match hits correctly for the sid/unstable
and experimental distributions, but nothing for lenny/oldstable or
squeeze/stable.
Attempting to acess the URLs directly:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/xfce4
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xfce4
fails with "Package not available in this suite."
But
http://packages.debian.org/sid/xfce4
works as expected.
This package is in lenny, according to apt-cache:
$ apt-cache show xfce4
Package: xfce4
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 48
Maintainer: Debian Xfce Maintainers <pkg-xfce-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
...
The same behaviour occurs with other packages I know to be in lenny,
eg pgplot5, bash, etc.
The search for bash showed up a related package in wheezy/testing
([ackagekit-bash-completion).
Hopefully this is a transitory mirror-sync issue related to the release,
but I hope it can be fixed relatively soon.
Congratulations on the new release, we look forward to upgrading.
Kind regards
Vince
