Package: equivs Version: 2.2.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I want to package a single file into a .deb package and looked into the equivs-control file (which is basically just `cp`), and found that it does not quote the $1 argument (should be `cp ... "$1"`). Consequently, running mkdir "/tmp/a b" && equivs-control "$_" fails ("cp: target 'b' is not a directory"). Maybe equivs-control is not supposed to work on paths with spaces, but that should probably then be added as a comment. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'proposed-updates-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages equivs depends on: ii debhelper 12.1.1 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.7 ii fakeroot 1.23-1 ii make 4.2.1-1.2 ii perl 5.28.1-6+deb10u1 equivs recommends no packages. equivs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
