Bug Description

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+sources (and equivalent URLs for other distributions) returns a NotFound error:
    * Module canonical.launchpad.webapp.publisher, line 458, in _publishTraverse
      return self._handle_next_object(nextobj, request, name)
    * Module canonical.launchpad.webapp.publisher, line 379, in _handle_next_object
      raise NotFound(self.context, name)
NotFound: Object: <Distribution at 0x2aa62874d0>, name: u'+sources'

This is currently the most common exception in Launchpad.

The +sources URL probably should replace <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+search> and <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+allpackages>, by containing a search form for packages and a batched list of packages.

Can this be closed, given the new @stepthrough approach?

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+sources still presents nothing useful, so I don't think this bug should be closed.

There are no pages that link to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+sources.

Sourcepackages have URLs like https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/pmount

Removing the sourcepackage name from the end gives you https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source, which redirects to the distro page.

So, there is no reason for the +sources page to be anything but a 404 not found error.

If such errors continue to occur in the logs, we should look at the referrer information to see why.
