Public bug reported:
I use Lubuntu 21.04. I use "open" command a lot to open files (mostly
pdfs, sometimes images or videos) from terminal. It breaks when there is
a space in the filename. Since /usr/bin/open -> /etc/alternatives/open
-> /usr/bin/run-mailcap. I ran it using the "run-mailcap" name. I mailed
the creator of run-mailcap. I'm attaching the email exchange as a text
file. I also attach the run-mailcap file. And the bug is on line 480:
"if (decode(langinfo(CODESET()), $file) =~ m![^[:alnum:],.:/@%^+=_-]!i
and $0 !~ "open") {"
