This one should be "easy" to bisect because 14160 works, something happened in the 18 commits. (Confirmed on amd64-linux)
hmmm, that seems to be then even prefix-unrelated. I would say that the double quotes in the output there are the culprit. I'll take a look.
can you try if removing the quotes from archive-dir in your dispatch-conf.conf (etc/dispatch-conf.conf) makes dispatch-conf functional again?
quotes are indeed only removed from start and end, not from sub-parts, like bash would interpret it. I fixed this in SVN to quote the entire string instead.
(In reply to comment #4) > can you try if removing the quotes from archive-dir in your dispatch-conf.conf > (etc/dispatch-conf.conf) makes dispatch-conf functional again? Yes, it does. No quotes, no trouble.

use etc-update to update your dispatch-conf.conf, such that dispatch-conf works again.
sheesh, duh, you need to update the config file before it will work. Sorry for the noise!
