[Bug 139776] Re: Does not support filenames with whitespace

There is no information missing here. Whether the bug is still present
can trivially be checked by everybody, there is no need to ask the
original reporter for it. All it takes is to execute the two lines

$ touch "long file name.tex"
$ latexmk "long file name.tex"

and one can immediately see that the bug is still present. At least in
hardy.

I am sorry if I am a bit grunty, but I am really getting disappointed
about this. It seems more and more common that the only answer that bug
reporters get as a response to their efforts is a periodic  "please
confirm that the bug still exists". If at least someone would do
something about the bug after such a question I would not complain, but
usually there is nothing happening at all. This is just a waste of the
bug reporter's time, especially if the bug can be extremely trivially
reproduced with a minimum of effort.
