/etc/profile in base-files 4.0-5

[Marc Girod]

Hi,

Just upgraded, and got a new glitch:

/etc/profile: line 39: ${p}: ambiguous redirect
It sounds ${p} should be quoted to take care of possible spaces in the path
to the Windows device:

# Define default printer
p='/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows
NT/CurrentVersion/Windows/Device'
([[ -e "${p}" ]] && read -r PRINTER < "${p}") && PRINTER=${PRINTER%%,*}

Marc

Thanks for noting this. Such an easy fix! It was driving me crazy. I had
installed MikTex just before upgrading so was wasting my time thinking it had
stomped something. -- Alex
