Package: lists.debian.org Severity: normal http://lists.debian.org/ provides a shortcut to open messages by ID in the browser. This works fine for most URLs but fails for message IDs with non word characters like +/= etc.
In particular this seems to affect Googlemail users, e.g. the message <cao6p2qqdjbcdx+0gj_s0cd0qa5isn_embckwktelp6hrcyy...@mail.gmail.com> Results in a lookup to "CAO6P2QQdJbcdx" which does not suceed. It /does/ work to lookup such messages through Gmane (and, additionally that message ID does exist): http://mid.gmane.org/cao6p2qqdjbcdx+0gj_s0cd0qa5isn_embckwktelp6hrcyy...@mail.gmail.com http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/09/msg00229.html My blind guess is, lists.debian.org uses some fancy URL rewriting which does not cope with characters supposed to be encoded in URLs. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
