[Debian-astro-maintainers] saods9 command line escaping

[Mark Copper]

Hello,

ds9 from stable (v8.2 repack) cannot open files whose filenames contain a space.

That is, the command
   $ ds9 a\ b.fits
fails with alert that ds9 is unable to load file 'a'.

Not every character in the ds9 command line is literal, of course.
Simple globbing can be a workaround.

The DS9 help desk thinks I'm out of it so it got me to wondering if
"repack" meant anything.

Thanks.
