freevo: Problem running imdb plugin from command line

Bug Description

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.

Hi,

I assume this bug affects Debian? If so, could you please forward the patch

Thanks,

you ppl have to make up your mind how to report bugs.

I first ran 'reportbug'. Then got a message I need to send to some place else,
now you want me to 'forward' it to debian, assuming I know where to forward
it too. I though reportbug (as being a debian tool) would do that.

I think it is best you forward the problem to where you think it should go.
