I have just reported this upstream to Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/617328
Perhaps the simplest solution is to change to using a ":" as the separator. The origin strings come from Releases files which by inspection have the format: <key>: <value> And so presumably ":" cannot be in the <value>. Would you accept patches to do this? I guess you will want a patch that falls back to using a space separator (for backwards compatibility) if there is no ":" separator. I am about to send a similar bug update to the debian bug #536754, I will then work on a backwards compatible debian patch then a backwards compatible ubuntu patch. Please comment if you think this is a bad plan? Alex Owen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
