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

[Mark Harrison]

In case anyone is still interested in this, here is what happens when
latexmk is run with a .tex file whose file name has whitespace.

~ > touch "multiple word tex file.tex"                          
~ > latexmk multiple\ word\ tex\ file.tex 
This is latexmk, John Collins, 2 June 2004, version: 3.07a.
**** Report bugs etc to John Collins <collins at phys.psu.edu>. ****
------------
Run number 1 of latex [multiple word tex file.tex]
------------
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
 %&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `multiple'.
<*> multiple 
             word tex file.tex
Please type another input file name: 

As can be seen, latexmk parses files with whitespace in their name as
separate files.  This version of latexmk interprets "multiple word tex
file.tex" as four separate files "multiple", "word", "tex", "file.tex".

As I said in my previous comment, this version of latexmk is badly out
of date as this bug was fixed more than two years ago.  I'll forward
this but to the debian buglist to see if this issue can be resolved
there.
