apt: Uses bogus ftp password on ftp:// urls
Package: apt
Version: 0.0.17-1
I have problems using an ftp:// url with apt.
My /etc/apt/sources.list:
-------------- begin: sources.list --------------
deb ftp://ftp.inka.de/debian hamm main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.inka.de/debian-non-US hamm/binary-i386/
--------------- end: sources.list ---------------
When I all [U]pdate out of dselect I get:
********************************************************************************

for example: joe@max2-239.public.uni-hamburg.de or joe@
[max2-239.public.uni-hamburg.de will be added if password ends with @]
Login incorrect.

(W) The filehandle you're writing to got itself closed sometime before now.
Check your logic flow.
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/Cmd.pm line 210 (#2)
(W) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It was
interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this
warning assign an initial value to your variables.

********************************************************************************
I tried some anon-logins manually:
ftp.inka.de accepts as pws:
foo@
foo@bar.anything
It does not accept:
foo
foo@bar
So anything with "@" and "." seems to be ok. What does apt use?
"apt-get update" typed in a shell leads to the same results.
Greetings
