lrztar fails on directory names with spaces

[dvukolov]

There seems to be an issue with how lrztar handles directory names containing spaces:

$ lrztar "a directory"
Failed to open directory.tar.lrz
No such file or directory
Fatal error - exiting

$ lrztar "one more directory"
Cannot specify output filename with more than 1 file
Fatal error - exiting

Quite peculiar :)

Hi,

I think the problem is that lrzip will get something like

lrzip -o a directory

but should instead get a

lrzip -o "a directory"

One possibilty is to give in a filename with

$ lrztar -o directory.tar.lrz "a directory"

but be warned the given filename must not contain a SPACE.

Below is a patch that will hopefully solve this issue (warning untested). Be warned it will not solve the issue if you give in something like

lrztar -o "Sicherung directory.tar.lrz" "a directory"

This will still not work and currently I know no way to solve this quick and not to dirty.

I hope this will help you.
