Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny1
Severity: normal
libapt's AR File implementation gets confused by file names which are
terminated with "/" (which is sysv feature allowing spaces in file
names). The result is hand rolling a .deb file with "ar" generates
packages which are installable with dpkg but not GDebi (as it uses
libapt).

Hi,
Mea Cupla, the problem I'd been having with Gdebi/libapt was on my
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04LTS system. However as it wasn't with a patch applied
by Ubuntu I raised it directly upstream via the reportbug tool on my
Debian server without first testing the package with gdebi here.
The bug is indeed fixed on the later libapt and this bug is invalid
for the version mentioned.
Sorry for the noise.
