Arch Linux

Quoted arguments are not correctly handled by dotnet-cli on arch with dotnet-host 2.2.0+100-1

This was discovered when reporting a regression against dotnet-cli upstream. https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/4139

Upstream developers determined that the current packaging behaviour for `dotnet` is the root cause for incorrect handling of quoted arguments.

Steps to reproduce:

$ dotnet new console
// change generated Program.cs to echo the arguments on separate lines
// eg:
- Console.WriteLine("HelloWorld!");
+ for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
+ {
+ Console.WriteLine($"ARG {i} {args[i]}");
+ }
$ dotnet run "h x a"
ARG 0 h
ARG 1 x
ARG 2 a

The expected behaviour would be the output:

$ dotnet run "h x a"
ARG 0 h x a

Repro steps adapted from github thread.

According to @peterhuene the solution is to replace $@ with "$@" in the /usr/bin/dotnet wrapper script
