Public bug reported:

[Impact]

apt-transport-https crashes whenever any repository's Owner is NULL.

This leaves the user unable to get any upgrades as long as the
problematic repository is present in sources.list or sources.list.d
directory.


[Test Case]

1. echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install sbt

Expected result:
The package gets installed/updated.

Actual result:
E: Method https has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process https received a segmentation fault.

[Regression Potential]

The patch that was uploaded to both Debian and Ubuntu Vivid is rather
simple, therefore the regression potential is really low.
