I'm rather alarmed that libgksu uses a plain string for the command to run, instead of passing an array, which wouldn't have these escaping issues. I'd like to see this corrected upstream, especially since only a few packages would need to be adjusted.
However, if this is just a quick patch, it will need to escape slash as well. Consider the case of: \' already being in the argument. This patch would result in the string becoming: \\' instead of the correctly escaped: \\\' -- "Install updates"-button only refreshes update list in it_IT environement https://launchpad.net/bugs/51419 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
