Bug Description
Exemple on tentatively fetching changelog for glibc :
Aptitude requests silly URL " http://
Instead of the good URL " http://
Thus failing with a " 404 Not Found " error.
Note: ~/.aptitude/config not badly customized, neither /etc/apt/

Confirmed. Steps to reproduce:
1. Open terminal
2. Run "sudo aptitude" and give password if necessary
3. Press / to open search box.
4. type "glibc" and press enter
5. Press n for next search result until glibc-2.19-1 is displayed
6. Press enter
7. Press down arrow until "libc6 2.19-10ubuntu2.1" is highlighted
8. press C to view changelog
Repeated with another package (acpi-support), without using search, to confirm it's not just the changelog for the package mentioned above.
