hello,
the dpkg-www package browser doesn't give a package description for unavailable packages.
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==========================-======================-====================================================================== un lib-bdb2 <http://localhost/cgi-bin/dpkg?query=lib-bdb2> <none> (no description available) ii libacl1 <http://localhost/cgi-bin/dpkg?query=libacl1> 2.2.23-1 Access control list shared librarye> (no description available)
I don't understand the configuration file dpkg-www.conf and couldn't find any documentation other than the manpage. In woody the right configuration was enabled from the beginning on.
# List of Contents-xxx.gz files, if available. # DEBIAN_CONTENTS=" # /mirror/debian/dists/stable/Contents-i386.gz # /mirror/debian/dists/stable/non-US/Contents-i386.gz"
?# DEBIAN_CONTENTS="ftp://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/dists/testing/Contents-i386.gz"?
Need help. Thanks Alexander
