Description jluth 2014-04-04 13:12:06 UTC 
A bug in /usr/sbin/updxlrator keeps downloading the same file (especially noticeable with Ubuntu kernels) if there is a "+" or "~" in the URL.

That's because /var/ipfire/updatexlrator/bin/download modifies the sourceurl with these regexs:
    $sourceurl =~ s@\%2b@+@ig;
    $sourceurl =~ s@\%2f@/@ig;
    $sourceurl =~ s@\%7e@~@ig;

but /usr/sbin/updxlrator only modifies with the middle one.
    $sourceurl =~ s@\%2f@/@ig;

The fix is to make /usr/sbin/updxlrator include all three entries.

This has been fixed in the next (unreleased) version for the sister project IPCop.
