I fixed these URI's in git, see merge commit 
1c1d8b26f067e7a1f7740718c0ded84ec8a386cb and i

I didn't put closes: #number in one of the commit messages. Anyways, its fixed
and released in apt 2.7.14. Thanks for reporting the bug.

Cheers,
Wesley

Bug#1066856: apt: please update the URLs in the man pages

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: apt
Version: 2.7.13+b1
Severity: minor

The URLs in the man pages should be updated. For instance, concerning
the b.d.o URLs in the various man pages, "http" should be changed to
"https".

In the apt-cache(8) man page:

http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/ gives a "Page Not Found"
error.

http://rw4.cs.uni-sb.de/users/sander/html/gsvcg1.html should be
changed to
https://www.rw.cdl.uni-saarland.de/people/sander/private/html/gsvcg1.html
