broken option parsing in casper-snapshot

Bug #179411 reported by Tormod Volden on 2007-12-30

Bug Description

Binary package hint: casper

casper-snapshot does not deal with options, it just gets the first word in the list of arguments. $1 has been used instead of $@, or another $@ was maybe changed from $* at one point.

I think it's better just to pass "$@" to getopt directly. Assigning it to ARGS doesn't help and just confuses the issue. I've committed a variant of your change that does that. Thanks!

  * casper-md5check: Close md5_file before exiting.
  * Disable tracker-applet as well as trackerd, otherwise the former starts
    the latter.
