    Hello
    I'm opening a bug so the problem reported below don't get lost.
    I can reproduce the problem. However I tested a different package
    (dianara) and the links worked both for official and unofficial
    architectures.

    A similar problem is mentioned in #790774 and #777035 but those refer to experimental, not sid, so maybe it's a different bug.

    Best regards

    Dear debian-www staff,

    I noticed that the "filelist" link is not working for a package I maintain:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/farbfeld/filelist

    This is the case for all the officially supported architectures.
    Strangely enough the link *does* work for the unofficial ones, e.g.:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/alpha/farbfeld/filelist

    Regards,

    Paride

    Thanks Laura for filing this bug. What I did notice is that the
    filelist, even when it works, is sometimes inaccurate. For example

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/parallel/filelist

    does not list the files that are actually installed by the sid package.
    This is the output of `dpkg -L parallel' on sid:

    http://paste.debian.net/985832/

    I don't know how the filelist thing works, but here is a wild guess of
    what could be wrong. The script that generates the file lists stopped
    working some time ago. File lists that were already existing at that
    time are still shown, but never updated (the case of parallel). For new packages (farbfeld), the file lists are not generated at all.
