Hey Joerg and Michael, I can confirm this bug and for us it is quite annoying as we are using unattended-upgrades to automatically upgrade our customers VMs and the "Debian backports" repository has a space in its origin.
So I did a unofficial package based on your patch joerg, and I also backported this patch : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/unattended-upgrades/ubuntu/revision/109 to solve https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/336558 and put them on our Debian repository : http://nibbler.personalized-software.ie/debian/ with its key available here : http://nibbler.personalized-software.ie/debian/ps.asc I probably shouldn't have done a dch -i on the packages if there are updates on the package but I wasn't sure what I should have put in the version. Hope this help LeTic
