Bug#915365: historical.packages.debian.org: 404 for any page other than root

[Keian Rao]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Although packages.debian.org works fine, historical.packages.debian.org
does not.

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Open historical.packages.debian.org in a browser.

(2) Do any of the following:

(a) Click the link to the list of packages for any distribution.

(b) Search for a package under 'Search package directories'

(c) Use the search shortcut by appending a package name to the URL,
e.g. historical.packages.debian.org/rosegarden or
historical.packages.debian.org/src:rosegarden

(d) Search for something under 'Search the contents of packages'

(e) Switch to another language, with the language links at the bottom
of the page

Alternatively,
(3) Use the search shortcut with wget, e.g. wget historical.packages.debian.org/coreutils


Results:

All of the above result in a 404 Not Found error.

On a web browser, the following is given:
"The requested URL /cgi-bin/dispatcher.fcgi/search was not found on this
server", or
"The requested URL /cgi-bin/dispatcher.fcgi/lenny was not found on this
server"


This appears to be a server configuration error.

historical.packages.debian.org does not [work].

This website has not yet been fully setup yet so it isn't surprising
that it is broken. It might be fixed eventually but I've no idea when
the folks responsible will have time.
