Description Tim Goodwin 2008-07-21 10:48:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
There is no way to make up2date look in a directory which contains spaces in its
pathname. Easy fix attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.6.2-7.el4_6.1

How reproducible:
$ echo dir foo '/tmp/has space' >> /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
$ <any up2date command>

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error parsing /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
at line: dir foo /tmp/has space

Expected results:
Obviously, I would like up2date to handle pathnames containing spaces!

Additional info:
Patch attached.
