Package: linkchecker Version: 2.9-2 Severity: wishlist I just looked through the linkcheck results of checking my homepage and there are some error reports I cannot quite explain. The URLs which have apparently failed do exist and the error message doesn't actually tell me much.
Two examples are: URL 'dscf0071_Sm.jpg.61.html' (cached) Name 'Small (642x482)' Parent URL http://www.cyrius.com/gallery/2003-09-001-sydney/thumb3.html, line 345, col 24 Real URL http://www.cyrius.com/gallery/2003-09-001-sydney/dscf0071_Sm.jpg.61.html Result Error and URL '0220-213632_Lg_Med.jpg.3.html' Name 'Medium (962x722)' Parent URL http://www.cyrius.com/gallery/2004-02-003-fosdem/index.html, line 110, col 37 Real URL http://www.cyrius.com/gallery/2004-02-003-fosdem/0220-213632_Lg_Med.jpg.3.html Check Time 0.442 seconds Result Error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor') Both of them look like a problem with linkcheck rather than anything else. There are a number of ways this could be improved: - First of all, the "Error" in the first example doesn't tell anything at all. - Secondly, please don't cache errors which are probably no real errors (such as this "Error" or a "Bad file descriptor"). Only cache errors which you know are real errors. - Keep a list of URLs which failed with 'strange' errors, and try them again right at the end of the run. Or are these real errors and I'm missing something? In this case, can you improve the error message. But as I said, I just ran linkcheck over those URLs and they work fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linkchecker depends on: ii python 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python2.4 2.4.1-1 An interactive high-level object-o -- no debconf information -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
