Dear Maintainer,
In Ubuntu, the attached patch will probably be applied once Ubuntu
development re-opens:
* Misc fixes to update-ieee-data (LP: #1694922):
- Quote checks for download executables to ensure that they are
correctly detected.
- Use "curl -sL" if selected to ensure that redirects are
followed.
This fixes a couple of minor niggles with the update-ieee-data script
when used in Ubuntu.
Thanks for considering the patch.
