I have tested the new package on Xenial, following the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
APT packages installed before updating:
apt 1.2.18 apt-transport-https 1.2.18 apt-utils 1.2.18 libapt-inst2.0 1.2.18 libapt-pkg5.0 1.2.18
Bug cases reproduced before updating:
1) dpkg-reconfigure update-notifier-common (calls apt-helper) 2) apt-helper download-file downloads.sourceforge.net 3) apt-helper download-file people.debian.org/~jak
Bug case *not* reproduced before updating:
4) apt-helper download-file kxstudio.linuxaudio.org
In this case, it appears that GitHub fixed its redirect response so it does not include spaces anymore (I see a %20 in the reply now).
APT packages installed after updating:
apt 1.2.19 apt-transport-https 1.2.19 apt-utils 1.2.19 libapt-inst2.0 1.2.19 libapt-pkg5.0 1.2.19
