Bug Description

Binary package hint: pybliographer

Ubuntu 8.04 with pybliographer 1.2.11

When I associate, for example, BibTeX files with pybliographic, pybliographic fails to open BibTeX files that have spaces in the file path. This is due to the wrapper script /usr/bin/pybliographic not quoting parameters properly before passing them to the python script.

The attached patch fixes this.

Intrepid also has 1.2.11, and it also uses $* instead of "$@". So the latest Ubuntu package also has this bug, as far as I can tell.
