Bug#661864: software-properties-gtk: "Failed to fetch..." Character Conflicts between "-" & "/"

Package: software-properties-gtk
Version: 0.60.debian-3
Severity: important

Package: software-properties-gtk (version: 0.60.debian-3)

Third Tab: Updates > [check] "Security updates (squeeze/updates)"
First Tab: Debian Software > Download From: [Other...] > {select}
[ftp3.nrc.ca], then either "ftp" or "http"
Clicking back and forth between the "ftp" & "http" will create the following
errors when Updates: "Security updates (squeeze/updates)" is checked and Debian
Software has "Source code" checked.
-
COMBINATION "ftp" with "squeeze/updates" GENERATES:
deb-src http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WITH THIS ERROR:
Failed to fetch
http://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/dists/squ...Sources.gz 404
Not Found [IP: 132.246.2.23 80]
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used
instead.

COMBINATION "ftp" with "squeeze/updates" GENERATES:
deb-src ftp://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WITH THIS ERROR:
Failed to fetch
ftp://ftp3.nrc.ca/debian/dists/sque...Sources.gz Unable
to fetch file, server said
'/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/main/source/Sources.gz: No such file or
directory. ' [IP: 132.246.2.23 21]
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used
instead.

+++++
Switching from "Servers for Canada" to "Other" {http://ftp.ca.debian.org}
creates a similar error when software-properties-gtk rewrites the
sources.list:
AUTO REPLACING:
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

WITH:
deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WHICH GENERATES THE FOLLOWING ERROR:
Failed to fetch
http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/dis...Sources.gz
404 Not Found [IP: 24.215.0.24 80]
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used
instead.

WITH:
deb-src ftp://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/updates main

WHICH GENERATES THE FOLLOWING ERROR:

ftp://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/dist...Sources.gz
Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 70.38.0.135 21]
