Package: dpkg Version: 1.9.20 Severity: wishlist As discussed with Adam Heath on IRC, there is a bug in dpkg's handling of conffiles if the filename contains spaces -- or other shell special chars, I would assume. When trying to diff for the changes between the two versions, I get an ENOENT because the filenames have not been properly escaped or quoted.
Similarly, dpkg-source complains if my Debian diff makes changes to upstream files whose names contain spaces. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux kandu 2.4.18-xfs+evms #5 SMP Fri May 10 16:58:00 CDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-7 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-7 The GNU stdc++ library -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
