Bug Description

I often used script function of synaptic for downloading packages.
After upgrading to Feisty Fawn the scripts synaptic writes are wrong.
I think a blank is missing between "wget -c" and "http..." for example:

wget -chttp://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxpm/libxpm-dev_3.5.6-1_i386.deb

I want to download files with wget for windows and receive an error message.
After changing script by hand it works.

The attached script is a workaround that is a bit more convenient than a manual change.

Forget to say: Call the script with the name of the download script as a parameter. The script changes the download script.

This bug is still in Gutsy as well.

Some should wake up the package maintainer.
A bug reported in April; fixed by inserting a space.

Fixing it should take less time, than commenting here does.
So, somebody who can (has the permission) to upload the fix, please do.

This is just getting silly.

it should be fixed in the source code.
