Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xdg-utils
xdg-utils 1.0.1-2 on Ubuntu Gutsy
xdg-open tries to detect the desktop environment and falls back to a
generic method using run-mailcap. There is a bug in this function that
means if the path contains a space, the method fails.
e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xdg-open Fire\ stockists.txt
local: 438: stockists.txt: bad variable name
Warning: unknown mime-type for "Fire" -- using "application/*"
Error: no such file "Fire"
There are some missing quotes in the code. I have submitted a patch
which works for me. I hope I've done it right - first time submitting a
patch!
