Public bug reported:

"apt show libsparsehash-dev" shows "Homepage: http://code.google.com/p
/google-sparsehash".

Going to this URL gives a redirect page to
https://code.google.com/archive/sparsehash, which doesn't exist.

Going to http://code.google.com/p/sparsehash instead redirects to
https://github.com/sparsehash/sparsehash; this might be the correct
homepage to list?

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:        16.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

$ apt-cache policy libsparsehash-dev
libsparsehash-dev:
  Installed: 2.0.2-1
  Candidate: 2.0.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.2-1 500
        500 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

I expected to be able to go to sparsehash's homepage via the URL listed
in the "Homepage:" field.

4) What happened instead

I got a redirect page with a broken link.
