Comment (by stippi):

 OK, I understand. I have a few questions to help me pick the best
 solution:

 1 What website could the alert point users to in order for them to extract
 the information they need and fix things themselves?

 2 Is it likely that the URL currently used as identifier at least for
 HaikuPorts and Haiku will ever change again? If not, wouldn't it be OK to
 apply some fuzzy logic to automatically fix this situation without the
 user becoming aware of it?

 3 In my old install, the base-URL is incorrect for use as the identifier
 URL. Yet the change fixes display of packages in the "all packages list"
 for me. The featured packages are still empty. Maybe I have to investigate
 this deeper, but from what you write above, shouldn't it refuse to work
 still?
