Comment 2 for bug 855887

There is a smart package currently in {lucid,maverick,natty}-proposed that catches http error codes. One such case was a 401 error (unauthorized), which was also being downloaded as a Release file.

You nominated this bug for oneiric, are you sure it happens there as well? I ask because the fix which was backported to lucid, maverick and natty is already present in oneiric.
