The behaviour of the program has been adjusted to reject all filenames with metacharacters. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 4.3-3+lenny1. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.3-3+etch1. For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4.5-2. We recommend that you upgrade your changetrack packages.
