System: NetBSD dogfish-head.cs.stevens-tech.edu 1.6.1_RC2 NetBSD 1.6.1_RC2 (BOCK) #27: Tue Mar 11 18:03:40 EST 2003 jschauma@dogfish-head.cs.stevens-tech.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BOCK i386

>Description:

	Trying to build a package for software that installs various files
	with spaces in the filename lead to problems when attempting to
	register the package.

	pkg_create: MD5File: can't read from `/usr/pkg/bin/digest md5 /usr/pkg/some/long path with/some file/names/with/spaces in it': Success

	make print-PLIST creates a flawed PLIST as well when trying to parse
	the filenames to create @dirrm entries:

	@dirrm some/long
	@dirrm path
	@dirrm with/some
	@dirrm file/names/with/spaces
	@dirrm in
	@dirrm it


>How-To-Repeat:

	Try to install a package that contains files with spaces in the filename.
	I would assume that a similar problem occurs with other 'special'
	characters in a files name.

>Fix:

	I'd assume some quoting of the filenames and/or escaping of non-standard
	characters in a files name might help.
