Bug#359199: Quick and dirty patch

[Jérémy Bobbio]

Hi!

I've been hit by this issue while installing an Ubuntu Dapper with the
text mode debian-installer.  I was unable to figure out why apt was
sending full URIs to appprox, so I made a quick and dirty patch to
approx which fixes this issue.

I'm sending it here for the record, but I don't know if it's worth
re-opening the bug, so I'm leaving it as is.

Regards,
