Malformed .list files

[Marsolin]

Binary package hint: apturl

The apt+http support isn't working for me. It turns out that the problem is with the .list file being created in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. If the filename contains %20 it will not be recognized. I replaced the %20 with an _ and it worked.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Can you please provide a example url that triggers this error?

Thanks,
 Michael

apt+http://www.debian-multimedia.org/?package=kdenlive?dist=sid?section=main is one example. It creates a file with the name www.debian-multimedia.org_%20sid%20main.list. Removing the %20's allows the repo to be used.

Why is this still incomplete?
