missing quotationmarks

[Andreas Nitsche]

Binary package hint: acpi-support

Line 10 in the file state-funcs is:

test "`cat $DEVICE/device/power/state`" -eq 0 || return

It should be this:

test "`cat "$DEVICE/device/power/state"`" -eq 0 || return

to solve the "Checking battery state..."-problem.

On some systems booting stops with this messages. The cat command cannot reads the given file because ../device/.. is a symlink.

It's more than this quotationmarks:

I've an Interface in my system called ?0. This interface is not recognized right and therefore it goes into the cat command line. I worked around this with a regex:

    for DEVICE in /sys/class/net/[a-zA-Z]* ; do

This is now my line 7 in state-funcs.

It could be a solution for normal use of device names.

Confirming as it should be a trivial fix that could easily be solved.

I don't believe the current acpi-support implementation suffers from the problem described. Please reopen with more information if you disagree.
