When you follow that link, do you see this text on the left side?

	The source of this book is hosted on GitHub.
	Patches, suggestions and comments are welcome.

It links to https://github.com/progit/progit2 and I am sure your bug
report would make an excellent contribution to the bug tracker ("Issues")
in that repository.

It would probably be even better if you cloned said repository, found the
respective file via `git grep apt-get`, fixed it, and opened a Pull
Request.

Ciao,
Johannes
