Hello,
Argument parsing in typescript has changed. For example, when using the
arguments "-t" and "-c", a space is required where one previously was
not. In
the following command, I would expect the results of "ls -1" to be
displayed,
but I am instead brought to a new shell:
mempass% script -tc "ls -1"
Script started, file is ls -1

mempass%
However, if I add a space, this works as expected:
mempass% script -t -c "ls -1"
Script started, file is typescript

Before I upgrading to Debian Wheezy, using "script" without adding a
space
between "-t" and "-c" worked fine. Here is an example of the previous
behaviour
on my computer that still runs Squeeze:
jameseric@icebox:~/applications$ cat /etc/debian_version
6.0.5
jameseric@icebox:~/applications$ script -tc "ls -1"
Script started, file is typescript
