Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unattended-upgrades
http://bugs.debian.org/536754 I know ubuntu is not debian but for unattended-upgrades it appears that ubuntu is upstream. Some well known and well used repos have spaces in either of both of their "origin" and "archive" debian-multimedisa has the string "Unofficial Multimedia Packages" backports.org also has a space in it's origin. 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 ":" seperator. 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?
