Title:
  Crash on folder name with spaces

Status in “iso-scan” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “iso-scan” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  When installing oneiric alpha 3 with the hd-media image, the iso-scan
  udeb is searching for an iso on a disk but if a folder name contains
  spaces, (ie: Documents and Settings) an error occurs and the search
  stops.

  my setup:
  booting from usb disk /dev/sdb1 on system with one local disk and one usb disk

  /dev/sda1 (Win 7)
  /dev/sda2 (/boot)
  /dev/sda3 (lvm)
  /dev/sda4 (lvm)
  /dev/sdb1 (install image with preseed)


  I am not sure of the correct way to fix this but I find that changing line number 162 of the var/lib/dpkg/info/iso-scan.postinst file 
  from 
  isolist=$(find $dir $opt -name "*.iso" -o -name "*.ISO" 2>/dev/null)
  to
  isolist=$(find "$dir" $opt -name "*.iso" -o -name "*.ISO" 2>/dev/null)
  fixes the problem on my system

  The installer boot image I am using is from 
  archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/
  and as of today, the udeb.list file says that the package version of iso-scan is 1.35ubuntu1

  Note that this is my first bug report so I am not sure how to create a proper patch attachment
  Thanks, Sylvain
