[Bug 314720] [NEW] freevo: Problem running imdb plugin from command line

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Alessio Treglia (quadrispro):

Binary package hint: freevo

when running

freevo imdb -s test

as a regular user (part of the freevo group)

I noticed that I got the imdb usage message.

when running

freevo -d imdb -s test

the GUI starts up (and not as expected the imdb-fetch command)
 
after some investigation I noticed this in the /usr/bin/freevo
startup script

exec sg freevo -c "$DAEMON.real $@"

and noticed when tracing the sg command that the arguments expanded
by $@ were not interpreted as one string (as sg requires) but as
parts.  I.e. only the first argument was passed to
the /usr/bin/freevo.real command and not all arguments.

Changing the command in the script as

X="$DAEMON.real $@"
and then
exec sg freevo -c "$X"

makes all things work just nicely.
