Comment 20 for bug 1531150

I tested this fix on trusty, xenial, zesty and artful. I followed the test case in the description. I confirm I see the hash-id download and apt update run messages.

One small note, on artful I get the following:

2017-12-04 14:50:20,311 WARNING [MainThread] Couldn't download hash=>id database: Server returned HTTP code 404

But this is probably the database really not existing on the server, otherwise I wouldn't get a 404.

Attaching screenshot of my tests.
