[Slapt-get-user] Slapt-get adding spaces to the URL?

[Simon]

For some reason I keep getting error messages along the line of "Failed to
download: FTP: access denied", regardless of source or package. To be more
specific:
# slapt-get -install httpd
1/1 Get ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-12.0/patches/
httpd 2.2.15-i486-1_slack12.0 [1.8MB]...Failed to download: FTP: access
denied

I tried this minimalistic slaptgetrc
WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get
EXCLUDE=^kernel-.*,^alsa-.*,^glibc.*,.*-[0-9]+dl$,^devs$,^udev$,aaa_elflibs,x86_64
SOURCE=ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-12.0/patches/

And just for the heck of it I did
# removepkg slapt-get-0.9.12c-i386-1.tgz
# cd /var/
# mv slapt-get slapt-get.OLD
# cd
# installpkg slapt-get-0.9.12c-i386-1.tgz

But to no avail, I get the same error message.
It has worked before, and I am quite sure I haven't changed anything that
i think should matter since...
Any idéas?
