Thanks to Daniele for reporting this bug. The URL will be fixed in hamexam 1.9

https://launchpad.net/~jnogatch/+archive/ubuntu/hamexam shows version 1.8.1

I do not know why it does not appear on
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hamexam

I will try to do what you describe. I am not familiar with these procedures.
