Right, while the BTS seems to be case-insensitive, the PTS is not and when confronted with “Dpkg” instead of “dpkg” it fails to find the package. This is due to the BTS being a CGI and the PTS being static pages, which would imply having duplicated pages for all case convinations. You might perhaps want to file a bug on the BTS to either not accept bad case package names or to normalize the outbound links because other services might not accept bad case names. > 2.

Yeah, it seems to matter, elinks has the same problem, but lynx and w3m seem to handle it better. So it seems to be a browser problam that does not understand that git:// is a valid URL protocol. You might want to report this for both links and elinks. Thanks, Guillem
