Comment 2 for bug 17066

I don't know what to say, but check out this message:

  W: Couldn't stat source package list http://people.ubuntu.com ./ Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/people.ubuntu.com_%7emvo_apt_apt-cache-control_._Packages) -
stat (2 No such file or directory)
  W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

This is particularly bad on my system, which has about 5 people.ubuntu.com
entries -- it's unobvious which is to blame until I look at %7evmo.

I don't think the actual filenames are very useful, but the full directory used
in the apt sources list should be preserved, as it's the only way I can track
probles back to their source. So for the example I posted, I'd expect:

   deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~daf/packages ./

to generate

  Hit http://people.ubuntu.com/~daf/packages ./ Release
  [...]

and

  deb http://bazaar.canonical.com/packages/debs/ ./

to get me

  Hit http://bazaar.canonical.com/packages/debs ./ Release

In these specific cases the lines would not be longer than 70 chars, and I think
that may hold true for most repositories.
