The problem is caused by the following substitution in "update-mime":
s/([^\s;]\s+)(?![\'\"])([^\s;]*)%s([^\s;]*)/$1'$2%s$3'/g; This is probably meant to escape/protect any "%s" instances which are not surrounded by quotes yet, using single quotes. This is fixed in Debian unstable, where imagemagick properly escapes the argument to "display" and "update-mime" does not add extra quotes around "%s" (it is: display.im6 'jpeg:%s'). Debian has imagemagick 8:6.7.7.10-4. Looking at imagemagick in Ubuntu Quantal (8:6.7.7.10-2ubuntu4), this appears to be addressed there already, too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973173 Title: /etc/mailcap syntax problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/imagemagick/+bug/973173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
