Comment # 2 on bug 917107 from Michael Andres

Rpm does it's own de-escaping in addition to the shell :(

You either need to double-escape:

> $ rpm --test -Uvh pl\\\'an.rpm
> Preparing...                          ################################# [100%]

Or use 'rpm --noglob': 

> $ rpm --test --noglob -Uvh pl\'an.rpm
> Preparing...                          ################################# [100%]

Libzypp uses 'rpm --noglob' since version 14.30.2 (online update is pending).
With older libzypp versions it's not possible to use a path with single quotes.


JFYI: AFAIK there's also an online update pending for rpm, which solves rpm
issues if '--noglob' is used. If you need to use single quotes, take care both
packages are up to date.
