Package: alien
Version: 8.83
Severity: normal
Trying to use alien with the following command fails:
alien '/home/joeuser/Downloads/16 March/foo-2.3-i586.rpm'
While rpms shouldn't be named with characters that need to be escaped and many
advanced users use backslashes to escape filenames, a user who drags a file
from his file manager to his terminal will get the full path name in quotes.
alien should support converting files with quote-escaped filenames also.
