--- Begin Message ---Package: lsb-base Version: 3.1-22 Severity: important I believe bug #388836 is invalid and the workaround introduced in 3.1-18 is not only wrong, but introduces a "real" bug. PARAMS="--this --that --start-command 'hibernate -F hibernate.conf'" [remark: I had to add double quotes around the value, because the submitter used invalid shell syntax - I assume this is what he meant] This just doesn't do what the submitter probably thinks it should. You can't use bash quotes inside a string value. It's a string, you can't nest quotes. The single quotes in the string are not being used to quote strings, they're just printable characters that happen to look like a single quote. There was no need to fix a bug because there was none. Let's talk about the new bug: spaces in parameters don't work at all if you specify them correctly: start_daemon -- /usr/sbin/foobard --foo "one two three" This should result in two parameters passed to /usr/sbin/foobard: first one is "--foo" and the second one is "one two three". Instead, start_daemon passes four parameters: "--foo", "one", "two", "tree". Please see the attached test scripts and try running foo.sh. The first invocation (directly, without start_daemon) is perfectly correct, the second one (with start_daemon) breaks in every case. Here's list of breakages caused by the "eval": - whitespaces in parameters cause the values to be split - can't use quotes in parameter values ("unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''") - can't use dollars in parameter values - empty paramers are dismissed - any amount of any whitespace is replaced with a single space - try backquotes! it's fun! - probably a lot more breakages due to bash syntax conflicting with parameter values Please remove the eval. It's evil. Max
