Package: xpdf
Version: 3.02-12
Severity: normal
Trying to view a compressed pdf-file named "x y z.pdf.gz" with the command
$ zxpdf "x y z.pdf"
results in the following error message:
/usr/bin/zxpdf: line 23: [: too many arguments
/usr/bin/zxpdf: line 24: [: too many arguments
/usr/bin/zxpdf: line 25: [: too many arguments
/usr/bin/zxpdf: line 26: [: too many arguments
/usr/bin/zxpdf: line 27: [: too many arguments
ERROR: file missing `x y z.pdf'
This is due to missing quotes in the lines 23 to 27 which should read
if [ -f "$file" ] ; then cat=""
elif [ -f "$file.Z" ] ; then file="$file.Z" ; cat=zcat
elif [ -f "$file.gz" ] ; then file="$file.gz" ; cat=zcat
elif [ -f "$file.bz2" ] ; then file="$file.bz2" ; cat=bzcat
elif [ -f "$file.xz" ] ; then file="$file.xz" ; cat=xzcat
Another deficiency (not an error): line 54 should either read
tmp=$(tempfile -p "${tmp%.[Pp][Dd][Ff]*}" -s .pdf)
or simpler, since tempfile only uses the first(?) 5 characters
with the "-p" switch
tmp=$(tempfile -p "$tmp" -s .pdf)
Best regards,
Jörg-Volker.
