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
