Hello, I think that Tushar refers to the packages.debian.org website pages and some copyright files are indeed missing: for instance, at the page http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/bash, there is a link to http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/b/bash/bash_2.05b-2-26/bash.copyright. But this file does not exist (only http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/b/bash/bash_2.05b-2-26/copyright exists, but this is the file for the bash Debian source package). So either there is a problem with the script which generates webpages for packages.debian.org, or there is (or was) a problem with the script which extracts copyright files from Debian package. Personally, I think that this is the latter. Frank, could you have a look at this? Maybe the second script needs to reextract copyright files from the stable packages (I don't know enough about this script to understand if this is easily doable).
