Bug#898999: [xdg-utils] [xdg-utils] Unable to open KMail when profile name consists of two words

[Alexander Kernozhitsky]

Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.1.2-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Trying to execute xdg-mail gave me the following error:

/usr/bin/xdg-email: 613: local: умолчанию: bad variable name.

Line 613 contains the following code:

        local profile=$($kreadconfig --file emaildefaults \
                                     --group Defaults --key Profile)

$kreadconfig is /usr/bin/kreadconfig5 in case of KDE 5. This command gives the 
following output for me:

$ kreadconfig --file emaildefaults --group Defaults --key Profile
По умолчанию

Because the profile name consists of two words and $() is unescaped, word 
splitting occurs, so the error mentioned above happens.

The remedy is to quote $($kreadconfig):

        local profile="$($kreadconfig --file emaildefaults \
                                     --group Defaults --key Profile)"
