[Bug 1396082] [NEW] dput GPG invocation doesn't work with spaces in working directory path

[Robin McCorkell]

Public bug reported:

When using dput to push to a PPA, if the current working directory has
spaces in the path, then it will warn (but not error out) with

    gpg: can't open .....
    gpg: verify signatures failed: file open error

The problem lies in the Python script - the path passed to GPG needs to
be quoted or otherwise escaped before being used to construct the GPG
command. It appears the bug still exists in Debian git master:
