Bug Description

From question 48502:

"I'm trying to link a remote bug link to a Launchpad bug like I've done a million times, but it's not working. The Launchpad bug is bug 286206 and the upstream bug is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/557019."

This problem occurs because the bug URL being provided is a shorthand URL. The full standard Bugzilla URL for this bug is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557019; following the URL above will cause you to be redirected to this URL.

This shorthand form seems to be unique to the Gnome Bugzilla (I can't reproduce it in other, less customised, Bugzillas). The normal form (show_bug.cgi?id=<blah>) will still work. Launchpad should recognise the shorthand form, at least for the Gnome Bugzilla.

Actually, the short URL is fairly common, I use it in my Bugzilla install.
