Bug#433455: /usr/bin/pdftex: $TEXEDIT default doesn't cope with spaces in filenames

[Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>]

Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007-12
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/pdftex


When interactively running tex over any document with an error it will stop
and ask what to do, possibilities include "edit" (by pressing 'e'.) This has
a slight bug: the default appears to be 'vi +%d %s' but no quoting of the %s
filename argument is done, thus a document with a space leads to the command
line
|  vi +3 name with spaces.tex
making vi open three new buffers. At minimum, the $TEXEDIT default should be
'vi +%d "%s"'.
