+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #233637 +++ NOTE: I am opening this bug as public so customers can follow along. Description of problem: Basically, links for packages that have special characters in their name are broken in the webui. When you click on them, you receive a "no package" message. The links are from a package search results page; not sure if there are other links to these packages (in say channel details > packages tab) that are similarly broken. Here are some example packages that have broken links: compat-gcc-c++ gcc-c++ gcc-c++-ssa Sam Sharpe on nahant-list came up with a workaround: "You need to manually replace the + in the destination URL with %2B, like so: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/name_overview.pxt?package_name=gcc-c%2b%2b-ssa&channel_arch_ia32=channel-ia32&channel_arch_ia64=channel-ia64&channel_arch_x86_64=&search_subscribed_channels= " Please refer to https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2007-March/msg00219.html for the full customer description of the issue. -- Additional comment from duffy on 2007-03-23 11:20 EST -- Created an attachment (id=150766) note how gcc-c++-ssa is in the list -- Additional comment from duffy on 2007-03-23 11:22 EST -- Created an attachment (id=150767) see how gcc-c++-ssa is not found. it has also been renamed to 'gcc-c -saa' on the page
I don't know what BZ this was fixed under, but the behavior is fixed in PROD as of 520. Closing CURRENTRELEASE
