Bug#763437: apt cannot handle IDN domains like ftp.uni-köln.de
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
apt cannot handle Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) in the sources.list.
The official Debian mirror ftp.uni-köln.de/debian (also accessable as
ftp.uni-koeln.de/debian) should be useable with the IDN.
With the help of libidn https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/ or libidn2
https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/#libidn2 this could be implemented.
You find more on https://wiki.debian.org/IDN
Thanks and regards
Noël
