Package: apt Version: 0.6.46.4.1 (for etch) and 0.7.20.2 (for lenny) Severity: important when proxy server URL is set in http://username:password@proxyserver:portno format, if password contains special characters like '@', it confuses apt, and results in apt resolving proxy server URL incorrectly. i have fixed this bug and have included patches for latest source versions of apt for both lenny and etch distributions. When this patch is applied, user can enter a password with special characters, with each of the special character preceded by '\' escape char. So for example, a password 'abcd@defg' should be entered as 'abcd\@defg'. the patches are attached. Regards, Shreyas Kulkarni -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
