Title:
  apt-get fails if a package has a space in its Filename

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If a package has a space in its Filename: entry in the Packages file,
  you get errors on HTTP resolution.

  Normal Debian repos don't have a case like that, but the Packages file
  should work even if packages are not stored in the pool in the most
  usual way.
