Package: rc
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when completing filenames that include single quotes, rc does not escape the
quotes.
I wanted to play the MIDI file “Dawn's Lament - Safalra.mid”.
Therefore, I typed in “timidity 'D” and pressed the tab key.
rc created the line “timidity 'Dawn's Lament - Safalra.mid'”.
Pressing the return key does not play the song in question.
In rc, single quotes inside single quotes need to be escaped;
the line should be “timidity 'Dawn''s Lament - Safalra.mid'”.
Though the problem might sound rare, it actually is not;
youtube-dl often produces files including single quotes.
Among 128 videos that I have downloaded using youtube-dl,
12 do contain at least one single quote in the filename.
The MIDI file from above and others can be downloaded here:

Version: 1.7.4+97.gceb59bb-4
Hello,
I am the new maintainer for `rc`. I've been working through cleaning up
some of the bugs in the BTS.
I have built and installed `rc` from oldoldstable (1.7.4+97.gceb59bb-4)
and this appears to be fixed. I created a test file called `my file's`,
I then tested the functionality by typing `ls 'm` followed by TAB and
it autocompleted to: 'my file''s'. I also tried a single letter m and
this autocompleted as well.
I double checked this still worked in the latest build
(1.7.4+97.gceb59bb-7), and it does. Let me know if there are any
issues, thanks.
