= bug description =
I've been trying to use the packages web app at
bugz.fedoraproject.org/<packagename>. I tried
bugz.fedoraproject.org/NetworkManager for example. It kept trying to
retrieve data and repeatedly kept failing with "Error loading data for
this element" when I clicked on "Bugs". Since the error greys out the
"File a bug at fedora" link too, I cannot use this page to head to the
bugzilla template for NM :(
I've refreshed repeatedly, and now the lower half shows a bug list.
However, the upper half has kept failing with the error, and the "file bug
link" is still greyed out (Screenshot attached).
= fix recommendation =
I realize that the idea behind the design is to ensure people look at the
buglist before filing a bug, but in the case of these errors, it's
unusable. Also bugzilla does give a list of related bugs now, as you type
in your summary. Is it possible to decouple the retrieval and the "file a
bug" links, or ensure that it doesn't fail so frequently?
Thanks,
Ankur
PS: I'll file these bugs at the fedoracommunity trac once it's been
cleaned up etc :)
