unable to install or update libsigc++ with Rudix Package Manager

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
run "rudix -i libsigc++" (or "rudix -u")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect something like the following but then for libsigc++ instead of 
dtach.
Downloading rudix.googlecode.com/files/dtach-0.8-6.pkg
######################################################################## 100.0%
installer: Package name is Dtach 0.8
installer: Upgrading at base path /
installer: The upgrade was successful.
All done

Instead, I see a traceback:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I upgraded to rudix 11.9 (rudix -i rudix) but the problem persists.
~$ rudix -v

I think it has to do with the name libsigc++, the plus sign has special meaning 
in a regular expression and causes syntax error.

The problem is not only to do with REGEXP, but about URL encoding, the plus 
character confuses the site to retrieve the information I require, even if I 
escape the plus char with %2B.

The only action I can take now is to rename libsigc++ to libsigcpp and in the 
future, I will not use plus in package's name.
