Comment 3 for bug 845716

I've downloaded 0.7.26~exp12ubuntu1.tar.gz from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/0.7.26~exp12ubuntu1 and compiled it on 10.04. I assume this is newer than 0.7.26~exp6 and sufficient to test what you suggest. Please let me know if this isn't what you asked me to test.

0.7.26~exp12ubuntu1 still fails:
