Bug Description
[Impact]
apt-transport-https crashes whenever any repository's Owner is NULL.
This leaves the user unable to get any upgrades as long as the problematic repository is present in sources.list or sources.list.d directory.
[Test Case]
1. echo "deb https:/
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install sbt
Expected result:
The package gets installed/updated.
Actual result:
E: Method https has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process https received a segmentation fault.
[Regression Potential]
The patch that was uploaded to both Debian and Ubuntu Vivid is rather simple, therefore the regression potential is really low.
