Package: gpsprune
Version: 11-1
Severity: normal

when calling gpsprune with gpx files as command line arguments whose
file names contain whitespace, the names are split again. thus, when
calling

$ gpsprune my\ tracks/track\ 1.gpx

i get the messages

Unknown parameter 'my'.
Unknown parameter 'tracks/track'.
Unknown parameter '1.gpx'.

followed by a list of gpsprune's possible parameters. gpsprune then
starts without any files loaded instead of opening
"my tracks/track 1.gpx".
