Bug#35868: apt-get fails if ftp server doesn't understand MDTM

[Hadmut Danisch <Hadmut@danisch.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.4

Hi,

after installing apt 0.3.4 I can't download files from
the ftp-server anymore. apt sends the server an MDTM
command, which the server doesn't understand. It replies
with "500 command not understood". apt aborts then.

The trace:


[The SIZE command works]
1111  write(3, "SIZE /pub/linux/ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.g"..., 83) = 83
1111  read(3, "213 490201\r\n", 10240)  = 12

[The MDTM isn't understood by the server]
1111  write(3, "MDTM /pub/linux/ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.g"..., 83) = 83
1111  read(3, "500 command not understood\0", 10240) = 27
1111  read(3, "\r\n", 10213)            = 2

[apt aborts]
1111  write(1, "400 URI Failure\nURI: ftp://ftp.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/linux/ftp.de.debian.org/";..., 181) = 181
