I forgot to mention that I hit clear search during my experiments. However, it did follow having done some tag searches, so if they were somehow sticking around it might explain the problem. If they stuck around, that was not evident in the UI. I just tried another system, and I am unable to reproduce the bug here. I'll try again on the original system when I get back there, which may be a few days. The first time I started up packagesearch and entered pdesk it crashed. The second time, after doing a debtags update, it ran OK. Yet another probably unrelated issue in one bug report :) I sort of remember the same pattern of an initial crash on my first system. > > > As a probably unrelated issue, I'll note that when I did an update I > > got a huge number of messages like the following: > > > > Removing tag media not found in vocabulary (package adabrowse) > > Removing tag devel not found in vocabulary (package adacgi) > > Removing package addresses-framework not found in APT database > > Removing package addresses-goodies not found in APT database > This is an issue with the debtags database and no problem.

This is odd, because "devel" shows in packagesearch's tags pain. However, when I click on devel there are many missing packages. For example, I see 3 zope packages in the packagesearch pain, but about 45 with a "removing tag" message. Should I report this to debtags? > Greetings Ben > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
