Bug#443739: apt outputs ":" character present in package versione as "%3a" during install
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.6
Severity: normal
During an apt-get (or aptitude) install lines like the following appear:
Preparing to replace xnest 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12 (using .../xnest_2%3a1.4-2_i386.deb) ...
i.e the ":" in the package version is output with its codification (what format).
This output is unclear, I think a simple ":" should be output there.
