Package: awesome
Version: 3.4.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The cause of this issue is the /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua file that exec "terminal -e man awesome", but the -e option can get only one argument.
This file is generated from awesomrc.lua.in in the source package. The solution is to enclose the command within two quotes.

This bug is present also in sid.

Control: notfound -1 awesome/3.4.6-1

I'm closing this bug, as terminal emulators need to accept multiple
arguments passed to -e, when they provide x-terminal-emulator (see
policy 11.8.3).
(terminator fixed this in 0.97-3.)
