Comment(by drkirkby):
I know there was one bit of code in sage which removed one space, but not
multiple ones. i.e.
{{{
sed 's/ //'
}}}
rather than
{{{
sed 's/ //g'
}}}
I changed the one occurrence I spotted, but there might be others lucking.
Of course, the best way to solve this is to not have any hacks like this,
and just get Sage to build with spaces in paths. If things are quoted
properly, this should be possible.
Perhaps there should be an environment variable that can be used to bypass
that hack which removes spaces. Then we could slowly find the packages
that have problems and correct them one by one. Once they were all
corrected, the hack could be removed and Sage would build on paths with
spaces in them.
