Bug#809877: xdg-utils: fix for #801048 breaks xdg-open if whitespaces in the filename on Debian/Cinnamon

[Chris Lamb]

Hi Per,

(FYI I did not originally file this bug)

> Please, it's not unusable.

Well, /technically/ true but the current situation is almost
unusable for a lot of modern use-cases. :)

In particular, when I download files in
Chromium with identical names they are called:

  foo.ext
  foo (1).bar
  foo (2).bar
  foo (3).bar

… so the first file works and opens directly in Chromium but
subsequent ones fail with an obscure error message about /tmp.

(I am not using Cinnamon but the "awesome" window manager)

Attached. So, I think this an issue in run-mailcap:

    $ run-mailcap --debug --action=view file\ with\ spaces.xspf

     - parsing parameter "--action=view"
     - parsing parameter "file with spaces.xspf"
     - Reading mime.types file "/home/lamby/.mime.types"...
       could not read "/home/lamby/.mime.types" -- No such file or directory
     - Reading mime.types file "/usr/local/etc/mime.types"...
       could not read "/usr/local/etc/mime.types" -- No such file or directory
     - Reading mime.types file "/usr/share/etc/mime.types"...
       could not read "/usr/share/etc/mime.types" -- No such file or directory
     - Reading mime.types file "/etc/mime.types"...
     - extension "xspf" maps to mime-type "application/xspf+xml"
     - Reading mailcap file "/home/lamby/.mailcap"...
       could not read "/home/lamby/.mailcap" -- No such file or directory
     - Reading mailcap file "/etc/mailcap"...
     - Reading mailcap file "/usr/local/etc/mailcap"...
       could not read "/usr/local/etc/mailcap" -- No such file or directory
     - Reading mailcap file "/usr/share/etc/mailcap"...
       could not read "/usr/share/etc/mailcap" -- No such file or directory
     - Reading mailcap file "/usr/etc/mailcap"...
       could not read "/usr/etc/mailcap" -- No such file or directory
    Processing file "file with spaces.xspf" of type "application/xspf+xml" (encoding=none)...
     - checking mailcap entry "application/xspf+xml; audacious %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY""
     - program to execute: audacious %s
     - running test: test -n "$DISPLAY"  (result=0=true)
     - filename contains shell meta-characters; aliased to '/tmp/fileNt0KnK'
     - executing: audacious /tmp/fileNt0KnK
    ERROR util.cc:269 [audgui_simple_message]: Error playing file:///tmp/fileNt0KnK:
    File format not recognised

… so reassign to src:mime-support and mark as "affects" ?
