Bug Description

When trying to associate the upstream bug report for GNU Emacs with the lp bug report, lp says that it does not recognize the bug tracker at this url. It appears to be correctly configured with the url and type set to debbugs, but it doesn't like it when I enter this url:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10285

This is because BugWatchSet.parseDebbugsURL() expects the URL's path to end with "cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi".

Launchpad expects debbugs URLs to look a little different. Not your fault; Launchpad doesn't communicate this.

Try using http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=10285 instead.

Changed in launchpad:
status: New → Triaged
importance: Undecided → Low
summary: - Launchpad won't recognize bug tracker for emacs
+ Launchpad does not recognize debbugs URLs that don't contain "cgi-
