Dear list,
debian.org has changed some schemes for submitting requests for
packages. The search engine plugins for firefox use the former schemes.
Debian Package Search by Name e.g. uses
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=java-package&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
and leeds to the following error: You reached this site over an old URL.
Depending on the exact parameters your search might work or not.
The new scheme for this request seems to be:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=java-package&searchon=names&suite=stable§ion=all
I could see the change of schemes for the following search engine plugins:
Debian Package Contents Search
Debian Package Search - Name
Debian Package Search - Name & Desc
Could you please check that?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Ralph
