Bug#286181: Quotes around variables in xvfb-run confuse Xvfb
Package: xvfb
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The quotes around the option variables on the Xvfb command line inside
of xvfb-run confuse Xvfb. To see this behavior, set ERRORFILE= to an
actual file, then run xvfb-run. It will log an "Unrecognized option:"
error.
This can be fixed by removing the offending quotes on $XVFBARGS and
$LISTENTCP
