  • Affected version set to v6.4-beta2

The spaces are not quoted when duplicity is called from Perl code: I've tried to add some quotes (reverse patch):

         $ret += system("$cmd &>>$logFile");
     }

Maybe we have to rework the code so that system() is invoked with a list of arguments instead of using an interpolated string.
