Something's broken with custom repos

[lfr]

The following Aptfile used to work a few weeks ago:

:repo:deb [trusted=yes arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/16.04/prod xenial main
dotnet-sdk-5.0

Now it generates the following error during build:

-----> Fetching :repo:deb
       curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
 !     Push rejected, failed to compile Apt app.

This happens both with edge and standard versions

Hi! See: #79 (comment)

Hi! See: #79 (comment)

That seems to refer to pre-existing errors that weren't properly reported before. This is not what's happening here, the logs from successful builds show that dotnet-sdk-5.0 was properly being installed from the repo that now causes the error:

I've updated my comment, clearly #79 is not applicable here, and removing the :repo:deb is obviously not the solution.

Turns out it was an invisible control character in the Aptfile that was causing my error

@lfr Ah that makes sense - thank you for posting back with the reason. Sorry it was such a pain to debug!
