Problem with 'logout', 'change password' links in contrib.admin interface

[gurunars]

Currently in "django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base.html" there is a line:

<div id="user-tools">{% trans 'Welcome,' %} <strong>{% firstof user.first_name user.username %}</strong>. {% block userlinks %}{% url django-admindocs-docroot as docsroot %}{% if docsroot %}<a href="{{ docsroot }}">{% trans 'Documentation' %}</a> / {% endif %}<a href="{{ root_path }}password_change/">{% trans 'Change password' %}</a> / <a href="{{ root_path }}logout/">{% trans 'Log out' %}</a>{% endblock %}</div>-->

It should be replaced with:

<div id="user-tools">{% trans 'Welcome,' %} <strong>{% firstof user.first_name user.username %}</strong>. {% block userlinks %}{% url django-admindocs-docroot as docsroot %}{% if docsroot %}<a href="{{ docsroot }}">{% trans 'Documentation' %}</a> / {% endif %}<a href="/{{ root_path }}password_change/">{% trans 'Change password' %}</a> / <a href="/{{ root_path }}logout/">{% trans 'Log out' %}</a>{% endblock %}</div>

Reason:

{{root_path}} variable does not contain a trailing slash. As a result, logout and change password links are relative, not absolute. It leads to 404 error when using the links from the pages other then home one. The solution is to add a trailing slash in front of {{root_path}} variable.
