Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: aptoncd
Package: APTonCD v0.1 (aptoncd_0.1-rc-0ubuntu1-dapper1_all.deb)
OS: Ubuntu Dapper Drake
When backing-up /var/cache/apt/archives to CD/ISO package file names
with underscores either get encoded or mangled with the operation not
getting reversed when restoring those packages from CD/ISO. After
restoration to an empty /var/cache/apt/archives the affected packages
(with the original, correct names) get downloaded again when an update
check is performed because the local (restored) file names don't match
the remote ones.
Some examples (post- and pre-backup names):
