Package: awesome
Version: 3.4.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The cause of this issue is the /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua file that exec "terminal
-e man awesome", but the -e option can get only one argument.
This file is generated from awesomrc.lua.in in the source package. The solution
is to enclose the command within two quotes.
This bug is present also in sid.
