Comment 2 for bug 399891

I've tested with jaunty and karmic, the bug exists there, too. (In karmic one hunk of the patch fails, I don't know why, but you may apply it by hand, the idea is clear I think :-) )

In case you cannot reproduce it: Ensure that curl is installed, if it is not wget is used (which *wohoo!* is able to follow redirects per default)
