Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:45.7.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Consider trying to invoke:
thunderbird -- -P foo
this currently produces:
Warning: unrecognized command line flag -P foo
it does this because the special "$@" is getting mangled into the env
var THUNDERBIRD_OPTIONS which then gets replaced as a single string,
rather than being passed separately.
For example (note the whitespace that should be a _ in the child process below):
0 dkg@alice:~$ ps -eFH | grep 'thun[d]er'
dkg 18921 3185 0 1072 1588 2 16:32 pts/1 00:00:00
/bin/sh /usr/bin/thunderbird -- -P foo
dkg 18932 18921 17 242031 278836 2 16:32 pts/1 00:00:12
/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird -P foo
0 dkg@alice:~$ tr '\0' '_' < /proc/18921/cmdline ; echo
/bin/sh_/usr/bin/thunderbird_--_-P_foo_
0 dkg@alice:~$ tr '\0' '_' < /proc/18932/cmdline ; echo
/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird_-P foo_
0 dkg@alice:~$
I believe the patch below fixes the problem:
