Confirmed that John's fix (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12070249/) solves the problem.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

This is fixed in upstream 1.0, the bug number linked is the wrong one though unfortunately.

I asked infinity about syncing this half a month ago, as it's the final release of 1.0, and fixes another important bug that is currently in vivid for example, namely other tools complaining about invalid PEP440 version numbers for python-apt, which has happened once again since the last upload to wily.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

As I wrote in the previous comment, this was fixed in 1.0; which is merged since a long time, so let's clean this up by closing it :)
