I think they need encoding in a specific manner. See URItoFileName and QuoteString in apt-pkg/contrib/strutl.cc (source apt). But I may be wrong, and this might be optional. I've uploaded a new version of sbuild which fixes the main problem in this report. I will certainly try to eliminate the unnecessary updates though. Ideally, apt-get update would allow updating of specific components, rather than "everything", but I haven't found any way to do this directly unfortunately. I can implement the URItoFileName function directly in Perl, or find some way to access the function directly from Perl. If you could check if we can get away without these special filenames, that would be very helpful! Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
