Package: bugs.debian.org
HTML pages with bug reports on bugs.debian.org have incorrect href
attribute for the <link rel="canonical"> element. Try e.g.
curl -s 'https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890338'
| grep '^<link rel="canonical"'
Actual result:
<link rel="canonical" href="<a
href="bugreport.cgi?bug=890338">890338</a>">
Expected result:
<link rel="canonical"
href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890338";>
or
<link rel="canonical" href="https://bugs.debian.org/890338";>
Sorry, I could not find version of package "debbugs" installed on
https://bugs.debian.org That is why I am unsure if the bug should be
submitted against the debbugs package.
My knowledge of perl is not enough to tell if the following commit fixed
this issue or some earlier one:
e47d145410 Don Armstrong 2018-08-20 03:31:42
mousify bugreport and short status templates
Another flavor of rel="canonical" issue is:
#926672 debbugs: 'bug' parameter is undefined for canonical URIs
#908038 Program fragment delivered error: <link rel="canonical"
href="..."> (Perl error in public HTML page)
The story maybe started from:
#890338 bugs.debian.org: Please add dd rel="canonical" links to bug pages

I fixed this bug in the Debian package, however I reopen this bug to give a
chance to Don to fix this bug in the Debian branch, which I promised not to
touch.
The commit to backport is fcc41de94df6291873af8a186a0a94273a685af3.
This needed a bit more fixing
(https://salsa.debian.org/debbugs-team/debbugs/-/commit/a5db479b17e0257ec21eceeac48584140fa2b35a
and
https://salsa.debian.org/debbugs-team/debbugs/-/commit/09b3e6977af852d566ea6d4e26a2bf1793c04de3),
but it's done now and deployed.
Thanks,
