Broken link in breadcrumbs for source packages

[Jeroen T. Vermeulen]

On pages that pertain to a source package in a distribution (or distribution series), we show a bar of breadcrumbs:

  (*) Launchpad > Ubuntu > 8.04 > "firefox-3.0" package

That final part is supposed to link back to the source package, but it's broken: it links to /ubuntu/hardy/+source which is not a usable URL.

This example is from https://answers.staging.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/firefox-3.0 but it seems to happen for all packages across all facets/apps. Example on develpment system: http://launchpad.dev/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils

I would have expected LinkChecker to panic over this. Did it? If so, why is the problem still here? If not, why not?

I think I'm seeing a duplicate of this bug. I am adding a screenshot for clarification.

The link with the pink arrow goes to the following URL:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source

It should go to:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/xchat-gnome

[William Grant (wgrant)]

That's meant to be a link to xchat-gnome in Ubuntu, not xchat-gnome upstream. It is this bug, but it should be a link to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome.

[Francis J. Lacoste (flacoste)]

That's actually a regression in the breadcrumbs code due to the recent refactoring.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

It's the same for +filebug pages, too:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+filebug

[Max Bowsher (maxb)]

It's the same for individual bug pages too:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkbox/+bug/320991 (for example)

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

I can confirm it too.

[Celso Providelo (cprov)]

The bug is fixed in my branch and further implications of the *fix* will be addressed by bug #345877 (hopefully not that urgent)
