Hello,

Thank you for taking the time for helping with making Ubuntu better. However, it's not a bug, but a general policy.

Spaces in commands have to be escaped with a back slash: \ 'alien Directory with spaces/rpmfile.rpm' should actually be 'alien Directory\ with\ spaces/rpmfile.rpm'.
This is because spaces mark the borders between different arguments passed to programs.
