Package: debdelta
Version: 0.50
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Not sure if this is a configuration problem on the debdeltas.debian.net
server, but packages whose version number contains a colon, such as
those found in pool/main/k/kde4libs, are not upgraded. debdelta-upgrade
will report that their debdeltas are not present on the server, even
though they are in fact available.
The problem is that the debdeltas are stored with URL encoding on the
server. For example, a debdelta file name would be:
kdelibs-bin_4%3a4.8.4-3_4%3a4.8.4-4_amd64.debdelta
instead of the expected:
kdelibs-bin_4:4.8.4-3_4:4.8.4-4_amd64.debdelta
If the former is how debdeltas should be stored on the server, then
debdelta-upgrade should instead request the above example as:
kdelibs-bin_4%253a4.8.4-3_4%253a4.8.4-4_amd64.debdelta
I have attached a patch to fix this problem, should this be the case.
Otherwise, the server should be reconfigured.
