Bug#228097: apt doesn't quote package filenames passed to dpkg



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.14
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

If I move some files from /var/cache/apt/archives and symlink to them I can uninstall
and then install again a package only if the parent directory does not contain spaces.
If there are spaces apt will fail to quote the filename and dpkg errors.
