Package: evince
Version: 2.30.1-3
Severity: normal
When attempting to open a pdf file with a # in the name - for instance
"file_#123.pdf" it fails and says:
Unable to open document
Error opening file: No such file or directory
I can run `less`, or any other command on the file fine. If I rename the
file to "file_123.pdf" then it opens as expected. Looking at strace
output it seems to be discarding the # and everything after it, as if
it's a comment or something, and trying to lstat/open "file_".
I get invoices from a vendor as PDFs named like "Vendor_#nnnnn.pdf", so
it would be great if this could be fixed.
Thanks.
