--- Begin Message ---Package: libkrb53 Version: 1.4.4~beta1-1 Severity: important According to policy, the package version may only contain alphanumerics, and '+', '-', '.' or ':'. The tilde in libkrb53_1.4.4~beta1-1 violates this rule, and apt-get chokes on it (refuses to download with 'illegal or malformed chars in package name') when fetching packages via an apt proxy, making a package upgrade cycle that involves libkrb53 painful. Version of apt-proxy used: 1.3.0 Workaround: Manually download the package and install using dpkg. Michael

The latest version is supposed to support ~. Anyway, ~ is now fair game for Debian unstable. See: <http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/08/msg00006.html> Policy hasn't been updated but hopefully will soon. ~ is already in quite widespread use in unstable. All of the tools in stable supported ~ except possibly apt-proxy; I'm not sure about it. The easiest solution is probably to see if there's a backport of apt-proxy available. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
