Subject: Bug#663664: dialog: --single-quote broken
Package: dialog
Version: 1.1-20120215-1
Severity: normal
Given this commandline:
dialog --stdout --single-quoted --checklist 'select' 22 70 14 a-1 a-1 1 a-2
a-2 1
choosing options gives a result like
'a-1' 'a-2'
which is broken, because the man page says
--single-quoted
Use single-quoting as needed (and no quotes if unneeded)
dialog=1.1-20100428-1 (lenny) does this correct; it gives
a-1 a-2
The extra level of quotes means that
VER=`dialog ...`
case $VER in
a-1)
etc. doesn't work anymore.
