Dear Maintainer,

Visiting https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/glibc
i noticed many dead links in the binaries section
of the page.

Hello,

Those are binary packages that the glibc source package can build but that
it only builds on non-release architectures... so indeed the binary
packages are unknown by packages.debian.org which only knows about
packages available on official mirrors.

And the list of binary packages is currently taken from the "Binary" field
in the .dsc and there we don't have any detail about architecture support,
etc.

The tracker also doesn't scan all architectures currently (for performance
reasons) so it doesn't know which binary packages do really exist across
all architectures.

Basically, there's no easy fix currently.

Cheers,

These could be switched to use the Package-List field instead, which
contains this information.

Thanks,
Guillem

packages.d.o is supposed to have support for the unofficial ports
arches, for example it knows about libc6 on hppa, including the
package contents. That it doesn't know about libc0.3 (for eg), which
does exist on the unofficial ports archive, seems like either a bug in
ports or in packages.d.o itself to me, not a bug in tracker.d.o.
