Bug Description

If you get eric via sudo apt-get install eric
Then open in GUI plugins->plugin repository...
the Repository URL is listed as:
https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/plugins4/repository.xml

Upon clicking update, this generates an error:
The plugins repository file ~/.eric4/PluginRepository has an unsupported format.

Upon examining ~/.eric4/PluginRepository, the contents of the file specify:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/plugins6/repository.xml">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>

Thus, the default plugin repository URL should be:
https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/plugins6/repository.xml
instead. Then when you manually change the url in the dialog box and click update, the available plugins are correctly displayed.
