Yes, it's only bad link. Can someone fix it?

Looks like nobody even looks at these bug reports :(

No, it's not "only" a bad link. Since it's an auto-generated list from the database, we have to find and fix the underlying problem (and write a test for it so it doesn't happen again).

Sorry for our bad presumption. And thank you for looking into this problem. Is this a mayor issue? How much time do you need to fix this bug?

I am currently writing a patch for it, but it will probably take a few days afterwards until it is actually pushed to the live site.

For your current installation needs you should use the replacement link you mentioned above (which works).

Oh great! I'll check it out in a week or so to test it.

It seems to work now. If you experience any more problems, feel free to reopen or file a new bug. Thanks!

Reopening: Apparently the invalid URL was not the only problem. Instead, now an "addon not found" error is triggered.

Uups, now it really doesn't work. I get the same error: "Add-on not found"

Comment 12

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

Yup, now it's fixed. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks Frederick.
