Package: awstats Version: 6.4-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch
If a referral to your site is from a different part of a site that has a search engine (for example, http://picks.yahoo.com/), but not from the actual search engine, it will get logged as a search engine referral instead of the actual URL. There's a couple exceptions added already for Yahoo Mail, and MSN mail. The included patch is a potential fix for the yahoo Picks site, although they may have other parts of their portal that link similiarly (and aren't actually frmo the search engine). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages awstats depends on: ii perl [libstorable-perl] 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages awstats recommends: pn libnet-xwhois-perl <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
