Package: os-prober
Version: 1.35
Severity: normal
Hi,
i have an external HDD connected to my USB port. the manufacturer has chosen
the name "MY PASSPORT" for its primary partition. When I run os-prober, it
spits the following error message
ls: cannot access /media/MY: No such file or directory
This happens, because in line 57 in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft the
mount point is passed to item_in_dir() without quoting, resulting in
"/media/MY" to be interpreted as the second argument and "PASSPORT" as the
third.
The attached patch fixes this behaviour.
Cheers,
Fabian
