Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pkgbinarymangler
If dpkg-deb.pkgbinarymangler is passed an argument that has a space in
it (say "dpkg-deb.pkgbinarymangler 'foo bar'", it gets passed on to
dpkg-deb as two arguments, "foo" and "bar").
I noticed it because I have pkgbinarymangler installed locally and the
xdg folder for Downloads is called "Hentede Filer" in Danish. I was
trying to install a deb directly from Launchpad, which downloaded it
just fine, fired up software-center which in turn said that apt-daemon
was probably broken. It turned out to be because "dpkg-deb -x" (called
by "dpkg -i", called by apt-daemon), failed due to too many arguments
being passed to it.
This happened on an up-to-date Maverick system.
